[quote=Anonymous]The problem is not very well explained by any literature but I think it’s that ovarian cancer is a bit like crc in that once it is a cancer it metastasizes very rapidly. With crc and cervical cancer, we have screening tests (colonoscopies and Pap smears) that detect pre cancerous polyps etc. But for ovarian cancer we can only see cancer clearly with ultrasound at the point that it is a full cancer - at which point it has likely metastasized. With crc too, once the polyp has turned into a full blown cancer it can metastasize v quickly. Make sense? [/quote]
