[Role of mass screening in detection of ovarian tumors].
The author presents an analysis of mass prophylactic examinations among female population both according to the literature data and based on the personal observations. Gynecological examinations are shown to be inadequate for active recognition of early forms of malignant ovarian tumors. Low percentage (from 0.0018 to 0.07%) of recognition of boundary and malignant ovarian tumors during mass prophylactic examinations enabled the author to advocate changing of the aim of prophylactic examinations proper and to single out the contingent with a high-risk of ovarian tumors. It is of great practical value, since it makes possible to select only those potential patients among the females, who are likely to be affected by ovarian tumors in future.
