Sudha Sundar, MBBS, MPhil, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, discussed results from the ROCkeTS study, as presented at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2024 Annual Meeting, which compared the accuracy of various risk prediction models for diagnosing ovarian cancer.

Results suggest that the IOTA model should be considered the new standard of care for post-menopausal patients.
