Ultrasound Study Results

OCRF provided this summary of

• The LA Times reported on a new study in Cancer, which finds that
  
• “symptoms are absent in 80% of patients with ovarian cancer,
  
• and that ultrasound alone was considerably better as a screening
• tool than symptoms alone. No combination of symptoms and ultrasound
  
• findings improved the detection of ovarian cancer compared with
  
• ultrasound alone.” However, the study’s authors do say that symptoms
  
• should not be ignored. It just remains to be seen “the degree to which
  
• symptoms are a resultant indicator of early stage ovarian malignancy.”
