Ovarian cancer is a relatively rare cancer. There is no effective screening test, no reliable diagnostic test, and no “red-flag” symptoms. Considering these challenges, it may be difficult to have an effective conversation with your doctor.
This worksheet and summary were designed to identify and record all your risk factors, symptoms, and family history, so that you can review this information together and make the best decisions possible about your care.
