know the signs

ask about the ca-125 test

why is it done?

Screening if you are at high risk. To monitor cancer treatments. To check
for cancer reoccurrence.

why it matters

May indicate endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, liver/kidney disease or other cancers

who it helps

Ask your doctor to take CA-125 as a baseline for annual wellness. Used for those in high-risk categories for early
monitoring combined with transvaginal ultrasound every 6-12 months.

While not a stand-alone diagnostic test, it can help doctors monitor changes and catch potential warning signs early

early detection tool

did you know?

25% of Ovarian cancer is caused by genetics. In 2025, there are more
than 244,000 women living who have been diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. The 5-year survival rate is 51.6%.

did you know?

Listen to your body, be aware of symptoms as they often mimic other conditions. Discuss all symptoms with your physician, Advocate for yourself and demand diagnostic testing. A pap test does not detect ovarian cancer

If you have any of the risk factors, please consult with your physician, and visit OCRA (Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance) free DNA testing link for more information and guidance.

Women with endometriosis have about a 30–40% higher risk of developing certain types of ovarian cancer compared to women without the condition.

Women with BRCA-related breast cancer may face a 10–20% lifetime risk of ovarian cancer.

It is estimated that about 20,890 women will be newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer

Having had uterine or colorectal cancer can also be associated with a higher risk, though exact percentages vary depending on family history and genetic factors.

Brca-1

Brca-2

Increases risk for ovarian, breast, uterine, pancreatic, and prostate cancers

BRCA2 is associated with HBOC syndrome. HBOC increases lifetime
risk for Breast, Ovarian, prostate, pancreatic and melanoma cancer

family history

Having anyone in your immediate family, male with prostate or female with
breast, ovarian or uterine cancer and any history of pancreatic, melanoma, or colon cancer can increase your lifetime risk

Knowing ovarian cancer risk can help guide decisions to take preventative actions. OCRA offers free genetic test kits to those that qualify.

other genetic conditions

hormonal replacement

Lynch syndrome and rare gene mutations (RAD51C, RAD51D, BRIP1) also increase risk

Long term hormone replacement with estrogen and progesterone CAN
INCREASE RISK

Symptom awareness is often the first step in diagnosing ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer does not have a reliable standalone screening test, diagnosis involves a combination of imaging, bloodwork, and sometimes surgery.

Measures a protein antigen 125, that may be higher in women with
ovarian cancer.

CA-125 Blood test

Genetic & Molecular testing

Genetic testing, is DNA and Biomarker testing that is done with blood, saliva, or biopsy.
The tests look for gene and protein mutations or chromosomal.

Includes ultrasounds, CT scans, or MRI to see masses or cysts

imaging test
