Description
Menon and co-authors report long-term results from a United Kingdom trial of ovarian cancer screening. Most women with this cancer are found late, and outcomes stay poor. The trial asked whether population screening can cut deaths.
Postmenopausal women aged 50–74 joined from 13 National Health Service centres. Women with prior ovarian surgery or raised family risk were excluded. Participants were assigned at random to screening or control paths. This report follows deaths after long-term follow-up. The scale of the trial gives its verdict unusual weight. It speaks to whether screening all women at set ages is worthwhile.
