Early diagnosis is the main challenge of the second most common type of cancer in women
May 8th marks World Ovarian Cancer Day. This is the second most common gynecological pathology among women, second only to cervical cancer, according to data from the National Cancer Institute (INCA). Because it is a silent disease, that is, it usually presents symptoms when in an advanced stage, early diagnosis is still the main weapon for reducing severe cases and, consequently, mortality. Even if there is no specific test to identify the disease, there are already technological tools capable of assisting in the evaluation of the patient to better understand the risk factors of each individual.
Walter Brandstetter, clinical manager of the HME division at Samsung Brazil, explains how technology has helped in this mission to combat the disease: “Unlike other types of cancer such as cervical cancer, which can be diagnosed with exams such as the pope nicolau , ovarian cancer poses a great challenge in its early screening. That is why Samsung is working on creating new technologies for increasingly accurate diagnoses, which follow the IOTA-ADNEX system, a gynecological evaluation tool that helps in the classification of ovarian tumors and diagnosis through the IOTA group protocol.”
According to AC Camargo Cancer Center data, 75% of cases are discovered at an advanced stage. To change this reality, diagnostic imaging devices can help detect this disease, such as ultrasound equipment. V8 e v7. Both are designed to streamline processes and increase confidence even in complex exams, and help you communicate results easily with patients.
Both models have a variety of tools for diverse and challenging cases. Healthcare professionals can easily perform targeted exams using the advanced features. In addition, various sophisticated 2D, 3D and Doppler imaging features are supported with excellent quality. With the MV-Flow tool, for example, it is possible to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate small blood flows in the ovaries, bringing yet another high-value diagnostic element to physicians.
