How to really know the difference between ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer? search engines are freaking me out on the subject.

Ca125: Ca125 is a blood test frequently elevated in ovarian cancer, not elevated in cyst. An ultrasound will also show characterists of benign vs cancer but if persisting may need to be removed.

Ovarian cyst/cancer: An ultrasound and ca 125 can help. Ultimately, surgical removal is the key.
