If you are at very high risk of ovarian cancer (For example, women with a genetic mutation), it has been advocated by some that ovarian cancer can be detected early at a curable stage by using a combination of blood tests and ultrasound. However, it is not known if this helps save lives and is not considered routine. In some women who are at very high risk of ovarian cancer, surgery (removal of both ovaries with part of uterus) can be done to greatly reduce the risk of cancer, both of the ovaries and the breast. A qualified oncologist with expertise in ovarian cancer can help you decide whether any procedure is right for you. While most ovarian cancers are not related to the family, it is estimated that a minority (around 10%) of ovarian cancer is inherited from the parents. Thus, it is recommended that the risk of familial cancer be discussed with all patients who develop epithelial ovarian cancer.
