A new blood test can detect ovarian cancer with 92 % accuracy, proving why early check-ups and preventive screenings matter now more than ever.
Reports in recent times from both Reuters Health News and BBC have pointed to a new diagnostic tool that promises to revolutionize women’s health care. Scientists have developed a blood test that can detect early-stage ovarian cancer with an overall 92 % accuracy and 88 % in cases of Stage I–II disease.
This is revolutionary because ovarian cancer is often discovered too late – its symptoms are vague, and most patients are diagnosed when the disease has already spread. For years, doctors have relied on ultrasound scans and tumor markers like CA-125, which can be inaccurate in the early phase.
Nowadays, this simple blood test can identify tiny tumor signals long before they become threatening. Researchers believe it could soon be used during routine screenings in women over 40 or in those with a family history of cancer.
What it means for preventive health and medical travel and this breakthrough is not all about technology; it’s a wake-up call. Studies show that up to 40 % of serious diseases could be caught early through preventive check-ups. Yet, millions skip them until it’s too late or go for procedures abroad without proper diagnostic evaluation just because they look “affordable.”
At Sante Privée, we see international patients coming to Turkey for treatments they may not necessarily need because their initial assessment was too hasty or done by non-specialists. This is why we always start with a comprehensive check-up package in an accredited hospital.
Only then do we design a personalized treatment plan. Sometimes the best decision is not surgery but changing your lifestyle, medication, or simply monitoring your results. Early diagnostics don’t save just lives; they save you from unnecessary stress, cost, and complications. Regarding health tourism, transparency is everything: patients need to know what they really need before they travel.
The Sante Privée Perspective: Clarity Before Care As a licensed health tourism agency in Istanbul, Sante Privée promotes responsible medical travel based on trust and expertise.
Our goal is simple: to help the patients make informed decisions before committing themselves to any procedure. We believe premium care means honesty, sometimes telling patients they don’t need an operation at all.
You can also request a free treatment plan and get an unbiased medical opinion without pressure or commitment if you are interested in your risk profile or would like to consider a comprehensive checkup in Türkiye. Knowing early means acting wisely, and that is the real definition of premium health care.
