In order to ensure that ovarian cancer patients access appropriate treatment to improve the
outcome of this disease, accurate characterization before any surgery on ovarian pathology …

Objective To derive simple and clinically useful ultrasound‐based rules for discriminating
between benign and malignant adnexal masses. Methods In a multicenter study involving …

Objectives The aim of this study was to estimate the rate of malignancy in adnexal lesions
described as unilocular cysts at transvaginal ultrasound examination and to investigate if …

Objectives To prospectively assess the diagnostic performance of simple ultrasound rules to
predict benignity/malignancy in an adnexal mass and to test the performance of the risk of …

Objectives To develop a risk prediction model to preoperatively discriminate between
benign, borderline, stage I invasive, stage II-IV invasive, and secondary metastatic ovarian …

Background Accurate methods to preoperatively characterize adnexal tumors are pivotal for
optimal patient management. A recent metaanalysis concluded that the International …

Objectives To describe the ultrasound characteristics of endometriomas in pre‐and
postmenopausal patients and to develop rules that characterize endometriomas. Methods …

Background Subjective evaluation of gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound findings (ie, pattern
recognition) by an experienced examiner and preoperative serum levels of CA-125 can both …

Objectives To determine the sensitivity and specificity of subjective evaluation of gray‐scale
and Doppler ultrasound findings (here called pattern recognition) when used by …

Objectives The aims of the study were to temporally and externally validate the diagnostic
performance of two logistic regression models containing clinical and ultrasound variables …
