Role of pathology in ovarian cancer
Blood tests and biopsies performed by pathology services are a vital part of the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of ovarian cancer. Pathology assists clinicians in determining the type of tumour, the staging of the disease and therefore helps determine if a woman is eligible to be part of a clinical trial.
