[|Human|] I have a 5cm solid mass on my left ovary and my Doctor recommends getting the left and possibly right tube removed as well. She said the current information points toward Ovarian Cancer starting in the tubes? We are hoping, of course, that the mass is not malignant but will not know until it is sent the pathology. Also is it better to try to save the ovary or go ahead and remove it to ensure no cells are spilled or left if it is cancer. I am 44 with a healthy lifestyle. I am scheduled for surgery on Wed. Thank you for your time.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for your query. You said that you were diagnosed with a solid mass in the left ovary. You are 44 years old, and you have solid mass in your ovary. Ovarian cancers are common at this age. I guess by this time you might have completed your family. So I feel you should undergo bilateral salting oophorectomy (removal of both tubes and ovaries). You can get a CA-125 level in your blood. Usually its level will rise in ovarian cancers. Also, it serves as an important tool in your follow-up period. You can discuss with your surgeon and get the test done. Good luck
