- Research shows 25% of high-grade serous ovarian cancer cases could be diagnosed early with fast-tracked testing.
- Early diagnosis significantly increases the five-year survival rate to 93%.
- The study involved data from 24 UK hospitals and 1,741 patients.
- Symptom-triggered testing has been in place since 2011 but its effectiveness was uncertain until now.
