 The sensitivity in detecting EOC in this pilot study is unprecedented and has sparked further studies, examining the potential of the ALPINE technique in detecting EOC and the precursor lesion of EOC, called STIC. The fact that ovarian cancer cells - collected through the ALPINE technique - were detected with a much higher sensitivity in the lavage, compared to liquid-based cervical cytology, makes the investigators confident that EC detection in lavage specimen should also be possible. If it turns out that already SEICs can be detected in the lavage specimen, this could even result in prevention of type II EC.
