OvaCis™ is an innovative colourimetric kit that accurately discriminates benign from malignant epithelial ovarian cysts with 98% accuracy, in 5 minutes. More than 90% of all ovarian malignancies are of epithelial origin, called epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Ovarian cysts are commonly present in most EOCs. Each year a large number of women go for ovarian cystectomy to remove ovarian cysts that are thought to benign. The intraoperative detection of malignancy for women going for ovarian cystectomy is critical for triage of patients for the most suitable surgical procedures, particularly important for young patients who wish to preserve fertility, and prevent unnecessary multiple surgeries.
