A new blood test could help diagnose cancer cases earlier.<\/p>\n

Researchers from the University of Southern California (USC) developed a blood test to detect early onset ovarian cancer.<\/a><\/p>\n

The test, called OvaPrint, is described as a “cell-free DNA methylation liquid biopsy for the risk assessment of high-grade serous ovarian cancer,” according to the report published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.<\/p>\n

The test is “highly sensitive and specific” for women experiencing symptoms, the results showed \u2014 with the potential for future use in asymptomatic cases.<\/p>\n

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is often diagnosed at later stages, the research states.<\/p>\n

It is the most common and lethal type of ovarian cancer<\/a>, according to the National Institutes of Health.<\/p>\n

As of now, the most effective way to identify a pelvic mass is through surgery<\/a>, followed by pathological testing.<\/p>\n

There are still no effective screening tools in women who are asymptomatic, the report stated.<\/p>\n

The researchers were able to develop OvaPrint by testing samples to distinguish ovarian cancers from benign masses.<\/p>\n

OvaPrint achieved a “positive predictive value of 95% and a negative predictive value of 88% for discriminating HGSOC from benign masses, surpassing other commercial tests,” the researchers reported.<\/p>\n

The test proved to be less sensitive for non-HGSOC ovarian cancers<\/a>, although it could potentially identify low-grade and borderline tumors with higher malignant potential.<\/p>\n

The researchers are looking into a follow-up study to validate results, according to Medical Press.<\/p>\n

This validation could lead to OvaPrint’s commercial availability within the next two years.<\/p>\n

“The test has the potential to improve treatment, because the surgical approach to removing a pelvic mass differs depending on whether it\u2019s benign or not,” Bodour Salhia, the study\u2019s coauthor and co-leader of the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center\u2019s genomic and epigenomic regulation research program, said in a statement, as Healthcare Brew noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Right now, doctors essentially have to take their best guess.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Brian Slomovitz, director of gynecologic oncology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, reacted to these developments in a conversation with Fox News Digital, noting that the “novel” study is for early detection in women with pelvic masses.<\/p>\n

“It is not a cancer screening test which looks at normal-risk women who have not been diagnosed with a mass,” he said. “In this group of women, investigators were able to identify those malignant tumors with a relatively high sensitivity and specificity.”<\/p>\n

“This test is done to determine if a mass is malignant and needs to be removed,” he specified. “Also, in real world, it can determine if an oncologic surgeon should be doing the surgery.”<\/p>\n

Slomovitz considered the largest ovarian cancer screening trial done, the UK Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS), which identified a group of patients with earlier-stage disease when using their test.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“However, even with a positive result, this did not become standard of care because it didn\u2019t demonstrate a survival difference between the groups,” he said.<\/p>\n

The doctor suggested that the prevalence of ovarian cancer should be taken into consideration when performing early detection testing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The prevalence of ovarian cancer in the population is one in 70,” he said. “The statistical outcomes need to not only show a sensitivity and specificity but, in a real-world population, an acceptable negative predictive value, in order to not miss any diagnosis of cancer.”<\/p>\n

“Nonetheless, it is interesting research and I look forward to future studies evaluating this test.”<\/p>\n
