Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is usually lethal unless it is diagnosed at an early stage, thus early detection is likely to play an important role in reducing its mortality. Within the Ovarian Specialized Programs of Research Excellence Pacific Ovarian Cancer Research Consortium (POCRC) researchers have been working for a decade to discover, develop, and validate biomarkers (proteins or substances found in blood) that could help save lives by detecting EOC early. During the last five years several biomarkers, including CA125, have been evaluated for their ability to detect EOC at an earlier stage. The best markers will now be studied in a new randomized controlled trial of ovarian cancer screening.
