A member asked:
I was just wondering when and if i should start screening for ovarian cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No guidelines: There are no screening guidelines for ovarian cancer unless you are known to have a genetic predisposition (because of certain gene mutations that have been tested in you e.g. Brca) or you have a family history. Here is a good resource on ovarian cancer http://www.Cancer.Net/cancer-types/ovarian-cancer.
