One third, or 65%, of U.S. doctors believe that ovarian cancer screening is effective and many would offer it to patients, according to a new survey.

For women at low risk, the number dropped to 29% of the surveyed doctors. Those results are in contrast to the opinion of many doctors that current evidence suggests that the harms of ovarian cancer screening exceed the benefits.
