Date: 2010-01-05 00:00:00

According to a new study, blood tests can detect changes in biomarkers up to three years before women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. ... Full Story

Blood test combined with ultrasound may detect ovarian cancer at an earlier
Date: 2010-01-22 00:00:00

A new study has found that doctors may be able to diagnose ovarian cancer at an earlier stage using a contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with the proteomic analysis of a blood sample. ... Full Story

New testing method may help doctors diagnose early-stage ovarian cancer
Date: 2010-02-25 00:00:00

Over the last few years, researchers have worked hard to design an accurate testing method capable of identifying early stage ovarian cancer. Fortunately, scientists have recently developed a comprehensive test which combines a noninvasive contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging technique with the proteomic analysis of a blood sample. Researchers believe that the testing procedure may help physicians diagnose the disease before it becomes life-threatening. ... Full Story

Researchers find improved ovarian cancer test

Genetic factor identified in ovarian cancer
Date: 2010-07-21 00:00:00

Women who have a family history of ovarian cancer may want to consider cancer testing to determine their individual risk. A new study has found that the disease may be caused by a genetic variant that is passed along through succeeding generations.... Full Story

Scientists develop improved ovarian cancer test
Date: 2010-08-11 00:00:00

Ovarian cancer can be one of the most difficult diseases to detect. It is often not discovered until it has progressed to a late stage and has become difficult to treat. However, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology believe they have developed a new ovarian cancer test that may be able to detect the diseases earlier. ... Full Story

Study finds genetic link in ovarian cancer
Date: 2010-09-13 00:00:00

Women who have a family history of ovarian cysts may benefit from cancer testing, as a new study has found that two genetic variations that can be passed through generations may be responsible for development of the deadly disease. ... Full Story

Researchers develop more accurate ovarian cancer test
Date: 2010-12-16 00:00:00

Despite the fact that ovarian cancer can be easily treated when it is diagnosed early, it is often deadly because it can be difficult to detect. Malignant tumors often appear to doctors as benign, which prevents fatal cancers from being treated while they are most susceptible.... Full Story
