Early detection of ovarian cancer remains an important unmet medical need. Effective screening could reduce mortality by 10-30%. Used individually, neither serum CA125 nor transvaginal sonography (TVS) is sufficiently sensitive or specific. Two stage strategies have proven more effective, where a significant rise above a woman’s baseline CA125 prompts TVS and an abnormal sonogram prompts surgery. Two major screening trials have documented that this strategy has adequate specificity, but sensitivity for early stage (I-II) disease must improve to have a greater impact on mortality. To improve the first stage, different panels of protein biomarkers have detected cases missed by CA125. Autoantibodies against TP53 have detected 20% of early stage ovarian cancers 8 months prior to elevation of CA125 and 22 months prior to clinical diagnosis. Panels of autoantibodies and antigen-autoantibody complexes are being evaluated with the goal of detecting >90% of early stage ovarian cancers, alone or in combination with CA125, while maintaining 98% specificity in control subjects. Other biomarkers, including micro-RNAs, ctDNA, methylated DNA, and combinations of ctDNA alterations are being tested to provide an optimal first stage test. New technologies are also being developed with greater sensitivity than TVS to image small volumes of tumor.
