    a newly developed screening method could detect ovarian cancer up to two years earlier than traditional methods, which could help patients treat it, according to a study published today by Queen's University Belfast.
    , led by academics at the university, followed blood samples from 80 volunteers for seven years to find better ways to diagnose ovarian cancer. The results have been published in the British Journal of Cancer.
    researchers found that four proteins in the body can act as a group of biomarkers to determine the likelihood of developing endothy ovarian cancer, the most common type of ovarian cancer.
    based on this finding, the team developed a new screening method, and preliminary results showed that ovarian cancer could be detected up to two years earlier than existing methods. The earlier it is detected, the higher the survival rate of ovarian cancer patients.Dr Bobby Graham, lead author of the
    report, said: "The results of this study are encouraging and we now need to test new methods in a wider population to obtain more data to eventually establish a new ovarian cancer screening programme. (Source: Xinhua News Agency, Zhang Jiawei)
