Is there an xray or similar test for ovarian cancer?

Transvaginal U/S.: Transvaginal u/s (ultrasound) is essential to the initial workup for ovarian cancer, along with pelvic exam, and ca-125 testing.

No: There are no tests that have been shown to reliably screen for ovarian cancer. Some people advocate for pelvic us and tumor marker analysis but these tests have not been shown to lead to improvements in ovarian cancer outcomes.

Ultrasound: An ultrasound of the pelvis may reveal a mass in the ovary that would then need to be investigated to diagnose or exclude cancer.
