Risk of Ovarian Cancer Algorithm,» women were divided into three groups: those who should receive another CA125 test one year later (low risk), those who should receive a repeat CA125 in three months (intermediate risk), and those who should receive a transvaginal ultrasound and be referred to a gynecologic oncologist (high risk).

Risk of Ovarian Cancer Algorithm in a similar population of women.
