Combination of transvaginal ultrasound with cervical cancer screening contributes to early detection of ovarian cancer: Clinical trial
The high rate of early detection of type I ovarian cancer might be due to its slow progression. In Asia, where type I is common, the benefits of screening for ovarian cancer are particularly great. However, screening with TVU has generally been considered to have little benefit. The results of this study suggest a need for reassessment of this view.
