Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) in combination with CA125 to detect ovarian cancer in women at hereditary risk for ovarian cancer. METHODS: A semi-annual surveillance protocol comprising CA125 measurement and TVUS was offered to 676 women including 85 BRCA mutation carriers. Surgical intervention was performed if TVUS revealed a suspicious cyst or if elevated CA125...
