Ovarian cancer screening and mortality in the UK Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS): a randomised controlled trial

Ian Jacobs, Usha Menon, Andy Ryan, Aleksandra Gentry‐Maharaj et al.

Short summary

Annual multimodal screening (MMS) and ultrasound screening (USS) for ovarian cancer did not significantly reduce mortality compared to no screening in a large UK trial (n=202,638). However, excluding prevalent cases revealed a significant 20% mortality reduction with MMS over 14 years, particularly in later years (7-14).
