Quality of Life Associated With a Low-Risk Screening Program for Ovarian Cancer
Status unconfirmed
Conditions studied: Ovarian Cancer
In brief
The goal of this research study is to learn more about how women feel about an ovarian cancer screening program that involves getting a blood test to measure CA 125 levels. This includes finding out about women's quality of life and whether they are concerned or worried about their risk of developing cancer. This study also seeks to find out whether elevated CA 125 levels affect participants in terms of cancer worries or concerns.
