Experts Agree: No Evidence to Support Ovarian Cancer Screening

Melbourne, Australia, 2009 - In an Australian first, leading experts and organizations have agreed a position statement on screening for ovarian cancer, Australia's leading cause of death from gynecological malignancy.

According to a National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre (NBOCC) position statement published in the October edition of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (published by Wiley-Blackwell), there is no evidence to support the use of any test, or combination of tests currently available, to screen asymptomatic women for ovarian cancer on an individual basis or through a population-based screening approach.

The position was agreed at a NBOCC Expert Forum in Sydney, which brought together key stakeholders in ovarian cancer across Australia.
