According to epidemiologist Yamini Ranchod, PhD, MS: "There is no recommendation for routine screening for those with an average risk of ovarian cancer."
"For those at high risk — such as people with an inherited syndrome, genetic mutation, or strong family history — a doctor may recommend a transvaginal ultrasound or a blood test for the CA-125 marker. However, whether or not a doctor would recommend screening and how often depends on individual factors."
"Many of the symptoms of ovarian cancer are similar to those of conditions that are not serious. However, if a person experiences the symptoms of ovarian cancer regularly for more than a few weeks, they should consult their doctor."
