Diagnosing Ovarian Cancer
Kristina Rua, Patient Nurse Navigator with Miami Cancer Institute, explains there are different tests to diagnose ovarian cancer. "There is the CA-125, which is a tumor marker that is used a lot with ovarian cancer."
She also highlights imaging tests, such as pelvic or vaginal ultrasound or a CT scan as test options. She also says studies have shown that women who have had children and women that are on birth control have less risk of suffering from ovarian cancer, because their ovulation has been stopped.
