🔍Ultrasound is the primary tool for screening and diagnosing ovarian cancer, as CT and MR are not effective in early diagnosis.
🩺It is crucial to accurately differentiate cysts that require follow-up from those that do not, to avoid unnecessary interventions.
📉Ovarian cancer often presents at an advanced stage due to a lack of early symptoms, making early diagnosis challenging.
💊Screening for ovarian cancer has the potential to significantly reduce mortality rates by detecting and treating the disease at an early stage.
⚕️A comprehensive screening protocol should include transvaginal ultrasound to visualize the ovaries and assess any abnormalities.
