Whether some benign ovarian cysts can develop into cancerous cysts is not known. If a large proportion of ovarian cancers arose in this way, it might be possible to remove the benign cysts in a screening programme before they became malignant. We used follow-up data from a cohort of 5479 self-referred women without symptoms, who participated in a ultrasonographic-screening trial for early ovarian cancer between June, 1981, and August, 1987. We assessed whether the removal of persistent ovarian cysts from these women was associated with a reduction in the expected number of deaths from ovarian cancer in the cohort as a whole.
