A member asked:

Am 32 - no children yet. best way to determine 1.ovarian cancer-pap smear or ca 125 & 2.breast cancer-mammography or ca 15-3 granny died of ovarian ca?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam: I would not recommend obtaining a ca-125 as it is a nonspecific test in patients without ovarian cancer. I would recommend a gynecologic exam. At your age, i would recommend a yearly breast exam. I would start obtaining mammograms at age 40. Hope this helps.
