“…Complications observed were mostly minor (93%) and were more common in cancer versus non-cancer surgery. 5) Arguments in favor of serial ultrasonography as an alternative to immediate surgery are presented and illustrate the benefits of surveillance. 6) Ten critical considerations for ovarian cancer screening are presented in depth, highlighting their important bearing on ovarian screening outcomes and their interpretations. 7) Considerations that have psychological and behavioral impacts on individuals participating in ovarian screening suggest that a “normal” screening test result can have psychological benefits, including an increased positive effect and beliefs in the efficacy of screening. 8) The efficacy of ovarian cancer screening may be higher in Asia than in Europe and the USA. …”
