Interpretation
In postmenopausal women, a risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) value of 2.99 or greater indicates a high risk of finding epithelial ovarian cancer, whereas a ROMA value less than 2.99 indicates a low risk of finding epithelial ovarian cancer at surgery.
The use of these cutpoints provides a 75% specificity and sensitivity of 84% in patients with stage I-IV epithelial ovarian cancer.
