For this, we compared its accuracy with that of CA125-based screening. We demonstrate here that, in contrast to CA125-based detection, OncoVeryx-F detected ovarian cancer with very high sensitivity and specificity. Importantly here, Stage I cancers too could be detected with an accuracy of > 98%. Furthermore, again unlike CA 125, the detection accuracy of OncoVeryx-F remained comparable in both Caucasian and South Asian/Indian women. Thus, the robustness and accuracy of OncoVeryx-F, particularly for early-stage detection, underscores its potential utility for ovarian cancer screening.Keywords: CA 125, Oncoveryx-F, OvC, NoC, LC-MS/MS |
