High risk for ovarian cancer?


If I am at high risk for ovarian cancer, do I need any extra screening tests for that? How do they screen for ovarian cancer? How often are you supposed to be screened for that?

Their are two tests the ca125 and the brac testing. The brac testing will show if you have the genes for ovarian cancer. Insurance will cover it if you have family members with either breast and ovarian cancer.
