3-D ultrasound alone not useful in screening for early ovarian cancer. (Asymptomatic, High-Risk Women).
NEW ORLEANS--Three-dimensional ultrasound was not useful as an independent primary screening tool for early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer in asymptomatic, high-risk women in a recent study.
Still, the device may have promise as a secondary screening tool, Dr. David A. Fishman said at the annual meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists.
"We thought that new ultrasound technology with better visualization would give us the ability to detect earlier disease, much like colposcopy. Unfortunately, that's not the case," said Dr. Fishman of Northwestern University in Chicago.
More than 4,400 asymptomatic women determined to be at high risk for epithelial ovarian cancer based on genetic criteria were followed intensively with serial ultrasounds for at least 6 months. Of 97 patients found to have adnexal masses during this study, 47 underwent surgery; 36 masses were benign, 11 were malignant.
While two of the cancers were earlystage endometrial cancers, the purpose of the study was to detect ...
