Molecular signal in blood helps detect early risk for ovarian cancer, study finds
Researchers discover a potential diagnostic breakthrough for a disease often discovered after it has already spread
A molecular signal in the blood helps identify microscopic changes that precede development of ovarian cancer, researchers have found, a potential diagnostic breakthrough for a disease often discovered after it has already spread.
For decades, efforts to detect ovarian cancer earlier have focused on finding smaller tumors, the researchers noted in their report published on Tuesday in Nature Medicine.
