NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new study suggests that ovarian cancer screening with a technique called transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) may catch ovarian cancer early, at a more curable stage.TVS involves using an ultrasound probe placed in the vagina to direct sound waves through the vaginal wall towards the ovaries to detect abnormalities. The new study shows that TVS screening is able to detect ovarian cancers at an earlier stage, perhaps increasing their chances of survival.
