Summary

Discover if ovarian cancer screening can improve survival rates in this on-demand teaching session. Led by expert in the field, Holly Haines, this comprehensive review explores the efficacy of different screening methods such as blood tests, diagnostic algorithms and ultrasound. Major randomised controlled trials, such as the PLCO and UKCTOCS, are analyzed in depth bringing important insights to the fore. The session also delves into significant factors like high risk populations and potential screening risks. It concludes with the future steps being taken in the field, such as the UK Familial Ovarian Cancer Screening Study. This session is a must-attend for any medical professional interested in the latest research on ovarian cancer.

Description

The annual EUOGS conference, is based on disruptions to the menstrual cycle. We have 3 speakers: Professor Colin Duncan, Professor Philippa Saunders and Women's Wellbeing Club, as well as a student abstract competition and a talk on MDU services!

Learning objectives

  1. Understand the current statistics and survival rates for different stages of ovarian cancer.
  2. Explore the efficacy of various ovarian cancer screening methods including sensitivity, specificity, and different screening methodologies such as blood tests, diagnostic algorithms and ultrasound.
  3. Identify and discuss high risk populations for ovarian cancer, specifically focusing on age and BRCA1/2 carriers.
  4. Understand the potential risks associated with ovarian cancer screening including false positives, invasive follow up procedures and potential surgical complications.
  5. Review the conclusions and future steps for improvements in ovarian cancer screening methodologies, particularly in high-risk populations.
