Title
Examining the ovarian palpation screen in PLCO
Summary
This project will summarize the findings of the ovarian palpation screen in PLCO. We will analyze the results of the ovarian palpation screen and the resulting diagnostic procedures following a positive screen. We will analyze these results overall and also with respect to the findings on the other ovarian cancer screening exams in PLCO.
Aims
1. To examine the positivity rate of the ovarian palpation screen in PLCO, overall and in conjunction with the results of the other ovarian screening tests.
2. To examine the specificity and sensitivity of ovarian palpation, overall and in conjunction with the results of the other ovarian screening tests.
3. To examine the diagnostic procedures occurring following a positive ovarian palpation screen, overall and by the status of the other ovarian screening tests.
