Screening for ovarian cancer: Updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The researchers systematically reviewed evidence on benefits and harms of ovarian cancer screening among average-risk women to inform the United States Preventive Services Task Force. They concluded that, in randomized trials conducted among average-risk, asymptomatic women, ovarian cancer mortality did not significantly differ between screened women and those with no screening or in usual care.
