Background: Ovarian cancers are 3rd most common in females India as of Globocan 2018. Preoperative differentiation between malignant and benign adnexal masses is necessary for choosing appropriate treatment both. Risk malignancy index (RMI) a scoring system based on the combination sonographic findings, menopausal status, serum levels CA 125. “IOTA Simple Rules” preoperative USG-based classific...

Of the 4 cancers in women, ovarian carcinoma is first cause of death. The low survival rate patients with advanced stages requires early detection to improve treatment outcomes. methods currently used determine whether a patient can be given neoadjuvant chemotherapy are ascites cytology and laparoscopy.This study aims To compare RMI 3 as non-invasive method determining preoperative NACT adminis...

BACKGROUNDS Assessment of predictive values for CA-125, ultrasound features (US) and risk of malignancy index (RMI) in ovarian malignancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS 115 patients, divided into: 1) group-A (n = 41)--ovarian malignancy; group-B (n = 74)--benign ovarian tumor; 2) subgroup-CA(a) with low CA-125 (< 35 U/mL) (n = 64); subgroup-CA(b) with slightly elevated CA-125 (35-130 U/ml) (n = 26); s...

BACKGROUND There is no universal screening method for discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses yet. Various authors have tried tumor markers, imaging studies, cytology but no one yet is a definite method for screening of cancer ovary, for which a combined diagnostic modality has come to practice in form of RMI. With this background we conducted our study "Evaluation of risk ma...

BACKGROUND To determine the cut-off values of the preoperative risk of malignancy index (RMI) used in differentiating benign or malignant adnexal masses and to determine their significance in differential diagnosis by comparison of different systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS 191 operated women were assessed retrospectively. RMI of 1, 2, 3 and 4; cut-off values for an effective benign or malignan...

Amongst gynaecological cancers, ovarian cancers are associated with unfavourable prognosis and high mortality owing to presentation at advanced stages. Present study aims compare two diagnostic algorithms, International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) Simple Ultrasound Rules versus Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI 2) for detection malignancies. 50 consenting patients mass (reproductive menopausal ag...
