Screening for Ovarian Malignancy

The ADNEX model includes nine parameters; Age, CA-125 level, Oncology center (yes/no), and 6 ultrasound features which are maximal diameter of the lesion, maximal diameter of the largest solid part, more than 10 locules (yes/no), number of papillary projections (0/1/2/3/more than 3), acoustic shadow, and ascites

The RMI was measured as follows; Menopausal status (score is 3 as all patients were postmenopausal X Ultrasound score is based on assessment of 5 features and with the presence of one feature, the score is 1 while if more than one feature is present, the score is 3; the five ultrasound features are the presence of solid components, multilocularity, bilaterality, ascites, and metastases X CA - 125 level

Histopathologic examination of all excised specimens was done as this is the gold standard test for detecting ovarian malignancy
