Abstract

In October 2007, the Danish government and regions made an agreement comprising acute treatment of ovarian cancer (OC) patients. The acute OC-package includes the tumour marker cancer antigen 125 (CA125) as an essential factor. This marker is yet not optimal due to too low sensitivity/specificity. There is therefore a need for new or supplementary markers to improve the treatment. As the agreement will be influencing all diagnostic procedures, there is, furthermore, a need for information about OC and tumor markers. In this article we review the literature and illustrate future challenges and opportunities in OC marker diagnostics.
