Lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is 1 :78, mortality 1:108. Ovarian. cancer peak at age 63 with range of 55-64 years. Women diagnosed early has much better chance of five years survival rates. Yes, you should request Checkup though you are unlikely to develop ovarian cancer. ( wishful thinking). Hope it helps.

These benign tumors can reoccur in the opposite ovary so it’s probably not a bad idea to periodically get a sonogram and certainly continue with your regular check ups
