Use of CA125 and Complementary Biomarkers for the Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer in Low Risk Women
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if combining a standard blood test (CA-125) that checks for ovarian cancer with other blood tests that check for related tumor markers may be helpful in the early detection of ovarian cancer in women who are at low risk. Tumor markers are substances in the blood that may be related to ovarian cancer.
