Study focuses on ovarian cancer
Published: 2 May 2008
By the time a woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, it's often too far advanced, says Dr. Lucy Gilbert, head of gynecological oncology at the 缅北强奸 Health Centre. Gilbert heads a long-term research project called the DOVE study: Detecting Ovarian Cancer Early. It aims to identify a cluster of symptoms most common to the illness. But what is also needed is a diagnostic tool for women at risk of developing the disease at the early stages Gilbert said. The next step for DOVE is finding such a diagnostic probability tool, which would be made available on the Internet.
