Abstract
Symptoms that are more severe or frequent than expected and of recent onset warrant further diagnostic investigation because they are more likely to be associated with both benign and malignant ovarian masses.

The LancetUse of proteomic patterns in serum to identify ovarian cancer
3,245 Citations2002Emanuel F. Petricoin, Ali M. Ardekani +9 more
A bioinformatics tool was developed and used to identify proteomic patterns in serum that distinguish neoplastic from non-neoplastic disease within the ovary, justifying a prospective population-based assessment of proteomic pattern technology as a screening tool for all stages of ovarian cancer in high-risk and general populations.

TVS screening does not appear to be effective in detecting ovarian cancer in which ovarian volume is normal, and when performed annually, is associated with a decreases in stage at detection and a decrease in case-specific ovarian cancer mortality.

Unusual bloating, fullness, and pressure, abdominal or back pain, and lack of energy are prominent symptoms in women with ovarian cancer and distinguish them from controls, according to a case‐control design.

113 Citations1985Elaine Smith, Barrie Anderson
Women, particularly those with a medical history of high risk factors, should be made aware that apparently benign disease symptoms are characteristic of early ovarian cancer and that this tumor can be found early if they seek medical attention immediately.

Intensive surveillance by use of CA-125 and ultrasound does not seem to be an effective means of diagnosing early-stage ovarian cancer in this high-risk cohort of Jewish women at risk of developing ovarian cancer.

68 Citations2001Marilyn F. Vine, Roberta B. Ness +3 more
Borderline and invasive cases reported similar types of symptoms and the lesser likelihood of being detected by routine examination and the shorter symptom duration for invasive versus borderline cases underscores the need for effective screening and preventive strategies.

64 Citations1996C. Wikborn, Folke Pettersson +1 more
Investigation and analysis of the process from first recognition of symptom(s) to final diagnosis at operation in patients with ovarian epithelial cancer found diagnosis of ovarian cancer is difficult due to the vagueness of the symptoms which mislead both patients and doctors.
