Problems and Perspectives in Diagnosis and Prevention of Ovarian Tumor Diseases

Abstract

A set of embryonic proteins -potential markers for ovarian tumors is presented. More than ten new embryonic proteins have been tested, but no one strictly specific protein marker for diagnosis of ovarian tumors has been revealed. SOVA-1 is the most perspective marker for today. The special attention is given to peculiarities of evolution and mechanisms of early distribution of the tumor process. The role of pregnancy and "pregnancy specific glycoprotein"-PSG as a way of the ovary tumor disease prevention is discussed. An attempt to realize sources and logic of the disease is undertaken in the present work. Keywords
