The application of these criteria allows to diagnose the disease in its early stages. This is important because the mortality rate for ovarian cancer in advanced stages of the disease is quite high.

A group of scientists has proposed criteria based on diagnostic ultrasound, which poses

In the study, which was published by a group of scientists from IOTA, developed and approved by the proposed model in predicting the risk of malignant ovarian neoplasms. The study involved 22 medical institutions from 10 countries. It lasted 13 years, since 1999. Was examined more than 5000 patients with ovarian cancer.
