Although its prevalence is lover compared to breast, uterine or cervicalcancer, the mortality and morbidity rates are significantly higher. The first step in the managementof ovarian cancer is represented by regular screening and rapid diagnosis.

Most of the ovarian cancers (above 90%) are represented by carcinomas which are frequentlydiagnosed in advanced stages.

The aim of this paper is to update the indicationsregarding the usage of serological markers in ovarian cancers and the importance of using them forour patients.
