Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Hartge and Speyer summarize the findings by Lim et al and focus on the limited ability of indices to diagnose ovarian cancer when symptoms are reported within the first three months before diagnosis. They also discuss why developing a sensitive and specific tool for early detection of ovarian cancer has not been successful thus far and the potential considerations and implications of such a test on clinical practice and patient outcomes.
