Intra-Operative POC Device Distinguishes Between Benign and Malignant Ovarian Cysts within 15 Minutes

Ovarian cysts represent a significant health issue for women globally, with up to 10% experiencing this condition at some point in their lives. These cysts form when fluid collects within a thin membrane inside the ovary. Often discovered by chance in women without symptoms, ovarian cysts can also be detected during evaluations for pelvic pain. Surgical removal is a common treatment, with 5%-10% of women with ovarian cysts undergoing surgery. Of these, 13%-21% are found to have cancer upon intra-operative evaluation. The Frozen Section procedure for intra-operative evaluation that involves the slicing and microscopic examination of freeze-dried ovarian tissue aids in this determination but suffers from limitations such as unavailability, a lengthy process of up to 60 minutes, and low accuracy. The need for a swift method to differentiate between benign and malignant cysts during surgery is critical to inform management and treatment choices effectively.
