Unfortunately there are no simple screening tests for ovarian cancer. Periodic transvaginal ultrasound examination may be needed in a high risk patient. Visit this site for info: https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/ovarian/basic_info/screening.htm

Would suggest starting with genetic testing at the cancer center where your sisters underwent treatment. Based on actual results establishing with a Gyn doc specializing in oncology would be best. There is otherwise no consensus in the guidelines regarding screening for ovarian cancer in high risk patients. A reliable site is cancer.org by the American Cancer Society.
