Ovarian cysts

There is currently no routine screening for ovarian cancer, especially in low-risk patients.[57]US Preventive Services Task Force; Grossman DC, Curry SJ, Owens DK, et al. Screening for ovarian cancer: US Preventive Services Task Force recommendation statement. JAMA. 2018 Feb 13;319(6):588-94. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29450531?tool=bestpractice.com In high-risk patients (i.e., patients with BRCA-1/BRCA-2 mutations or a family history of ovarian cancer), referral for formal genetic counselling may be warranted to better assess the patient's risk. This should be done with the input of a gynaecological oncologist.[39]American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
