Primary Objective:
To determine if a treatment algorithm using serial transvaginal ultrasound with a tumor morphology index can improve the positive predictive value (PPV) of ovarian cancer screening compared to a historical control from 15% to 25%.
Secondary Objective To measure the compliance for study participants enrolled on the treatment algorithm using serial transvaginal ultrasound with a tumor morphology index.
Exploratory Objective To determine the effectiveness of a treatment algorithm that combines serum biomarkers aloneor in combination with transvaginal ultrasound to reduce the false positive rate of ovarian cancer screening in the subset of women agreeing to biomarker collection.
