How to check for ovarian cancer? These tests can help you determine whether you have ovarian cancer

When ovarian cancer is suspected, laboratory tests can be done, including tumor marker tests, cytology tests, pathological histology tests, etc.; imaging tests can also be done, including ultrasound tests, X-ray tests, etc. to confirm whether the disease is present.

1. Laboratory examination
1. Tumor marker test <br/>Tumor marker test can be performed. The disease can be diagnosed based on indicators such as CA125 and alpha-fetoprotein. If CA125 is significantly elevated, epithelial ovarian cancer can be diagnosed.
2. Cytological examination <br/>Cytological examination is performed by extracting peritoneal fluid, pleural effusion, etc. If malignant cells are found, the diagnosis can basically be confirmed.
3. Pathological histological examination <br/>This is the gold standard for diagnosing ovarian cancer. Suspicious tissues are extracted from the lesion site for pathological examination to confirm the disease.
2. Imaging Examination
1. Ultrasound examination <br/>This is the preferred imaging examination method for diagnosing ovarian cancer. Ultrasound examination can be used to determine the size and shape of the tumor.
2. X-ray examination <br/>X-ray examination can also determine the location and size of the tumor, and can also make a diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
