Ovarian Cancer Screening

Ovarian Cancer Screening identifies those women who are more at risk from cancer of the ovaries.

This scan is a thorough examination of the pelvic organs with special attention to the ovaries where we look for specific markers.

It is most commonly done if you have a family history of ovarian cancer.

You will likely be referred by your GP or Gynaecologist if you are showing syptoms of ovarian cancer.

The scan is usually combined with a blood test called CA 125, which assists in the detection process.

According to the National Institute for Health Research ultrasound is the most effective way of screening for ovarian cancer

This scan is usually performed by one of our highly qualified sonographers.

Should you test screen positive you would need to consult your GP or Gynaecologist for ongoing clinical care.

For bookings information and cost please see our Prices page.

 

I look back on our first scan with positive memories and would highly recommend The London Ultrasound Centre to friends
