A member asked:

31, brca2 pos. 3.6cm cyst on right ovary that causes pain. could be cancerous? ca125 is normal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Insufficient info: The 3.6 cm size is not enough information to help determine if an ovarian cyst is malignant. Also, it is not clear that ovarian cancer screening will result in a decrease in the number of deaths in women with BRCA2. Instead, a surgical procedure that removes a woman’s ovaries and fallopian tubes should be considered upon conclusion of childbearing by women with documented inherited predisposition
