Genetic analysis of the early natural history of epithelial ovarian carcinoma.
<h4>Background</h4>The high mortality rate associated with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) reflects diagnosis commonly at an advanced stage, but improved early detection is hindered by uncertainty as to the histologic origin and early natural history of this malignancy.<h4>Metho...
