Abstract
Ovarian cancer is diagnosed usually in advanced stages. Until now, minimal progress has been achieved to detect ovarian cancer at a more curable early stage. There is no proof that routine screening for ovarian cancer in the general and high risk population with serum markers, sonograms or pelvic examinations decrease mortality. There is no recommendation for routine ovarian cancer screening.
