Key Points Question Can clonal TP53 variants be detected in Papanicolaou tests performed several years before high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer (HGS-EOC) diagnosis? Findings This cohort study including 17 patients with HGS-EOC found that in 11 patients, tumor-specific TP53 variants were detected in Papanicolaou tests performed up to 6 years before the diagnosis of HGS-EOC. Meaning These findings suggest that very early diagnosis of HGS-EOC is potentially achievable and that further developments in highly sensitive molecular approaches could improve early diagnosis of HGS-EOC.
