Trial Information

Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Screening Program


The program will offer twice yearly CA-125 blood tests and annual transvaginal ultrasounds
to monitor women at high risk for ovarian cancer. In addition to the main purpose of
providing ovarian cancer screening, the researchers would also like to build a repository of
blood specimens for use in ovarian and breast cancer research and to offer genetics
counseling sessions to help educate women about risk-reducing options.
