目前对卵巢癌没有常规筛查,尤其是低危患者。[51]U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Screening for ovarian cancer: recommendation statement. Ann Fam Med. 2004; 2:260-262.http://www.annfammed.org/cgi/content/full/2/3/260http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15209204?tool=bestpractice.com在高危患者中(即:BRCA-1/BRCA-2 突变患者或有卵巢癌家族史的患者),可能需要转诊接受正式的遗传学咨询,更好地评估患者风险。应根据妇科肿瘤专科医生的意见进行此操作。[40]American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Committee on Gynecologic Practice.
