When will my doctore know ovarian cyst highly suspicious for malignancy?

By appearance: There are certain characteristics that make us more or less suspicious. These are: age (the older the more worrisome), size (greater than 6-8 cm), and complexity(simple cysts are rarely cancer). Some cysts need to be followed to see if they change or grow over time. Sometimes we just need to remove them to be sure. Discuss with your doctor to better characterize what is happening with you.

Ovarian cyst: By the ultrasound description and the tumor markers, your doctor should know whether or not you are at high risk for ovarian cancer.
