Overview
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for sexcord/ stromal ovarian tumors. According to the US Preventive Services Task Force(USPSTF) , screening for sexcord/ stromal ovarian tumors is not recommended in asymptomatic women
Screening
- The US Preventive Services Task Force(USPSTF) recommends against screening for ovarian cancer in asymptomatic women[1][2]
- The USPSTF found that screening with either transvaginal ultrasound or testing for the serum tumor marker cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) or a combination of both does not reduce ovarian cancer mortality
