"Professor Ian Jacobs started this work 29 years ago when, as a cancer surgeon in the UK, he saw many women with advanced ovarian cancer die. He’s been determined to find a way to detect early traces of the disease ever since.
The test he has helped design picks up changes in the concentration of a protein in the blood, which is found in almost all women diagnosed with this type of cancer. An algorithm then determines a women’s risk of developing the disease, the fourth most common cause of cancer deaths in women.
The algorithm can pick up 86 percent of women who have ovarian cancer before they have symptoms."
