Core Tip

Core Tip: Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and tumor markers each have their own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to diagnosing ovarian tumors. However, by combining these three methods, we can significantly enhance the accuracy of ovarian tumor diagnosis, enabling early detection and identification of the tumor’s nature, and providing valuable guidance for clinical treatment.
