Good morning everyone
This post is to let you know about the SONATA trial which is looking at whether taking two blood tests together (CA125 and HE4), and using a calculation called ROMA, would diagnose ovarian cancer earlier.
The researchers hope that the tests used in the SONATA trial will mean more people are diagnosed earlier.
Throughout Modality-run GP services in the Walsall, Sandwell or West Birmingham areas, the laboratory looking at blood samples will automatically run the tests being used in this trial and feed back the results to GPs. GPs will then decide whether someone should be referred for further tests. If further tests are carried out, this would be at a new one-stop clinic.
If anyone would like to learn more about this research, please visit the news section on the Ovacome website: ovacome.org.uk/news/new-tri... .
