THE RISK-OF-MALIGNANCY INDEX TO EVALUATE POTENTIAL OVARIAN CANCERS IN LOCAL HOSPITALS

Abstract

The risk-of-malignancy index identified women with malignant pelvic masses efficiently. Our study showed the risk-of-malignancy index strategy in a practical setting to be able to centralize primary surgery for advanced ovarian cancer from local hospitals to a subspecialty unit. We recommend the risk-of-malignancy index for detection of patients with advanced ovarian cancer for centralized primary surgery.
