Blood tests could detect ovarian cancer early

LONDON - Doctors screening women for ovarian cancer were able to pick up the disease about two years earlier than normal, according to a British study published Wednesday.
Scientists have long searched for a way to identify ovarian cancer early, which kills nearly 100,000 women worldwide every year. If it is found early, nearly 90 percent of women survive.
However, most women are currently only diagnosed with the disease after it has spread, when there is only a maximum 30 percent chance of survival.
