title: [Comprehensive diagnosis of cancer of the ovaries].
abstract: Combined examination of 96 patients with different gynecological diseases included methods of ultrasound tomography, scintigraphy of the small pelvis with 99mTc-pyrophosphate, immunoscintigraphy and radioimmunoassay for determination of the blood level of CA 125. New diagnostic methods for ovarian cancer using 131I labeled monoclonal antibodies and an algorithm for data processing were developed. Of 96 patients 39 had ovarian cancer, 6 patients--uterine tumors, and 51 patients (controls) with nontumorous and benign lesions of the ovaries and uterus. The diagnostic effectiveness of these methods was determined by the indices of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. The radioimmunoassay for determination of CA 125 possessed the highest sensitivity, ultrasound tomography showed the highest specificity and accuracy. Immunoscintigraphy with Imacis-2 was shown to possess the highest diagnostic effectiveness and unique informative value. An optimum algorithm for the use of the above methods in patients with suspected ovarian cancer was proposed on the basis of these investigations.
