These tests can help the doctor evaluate the size and shape of your ovaries:  An ultrasound An X-ray A CT scan An MRI scan Some types of ovarian cancer cells make a protein referred to as CA125. This means that high levels of it may signal cancer. This is, however, not a screening test – it is used when there is already a concern for cancer. Other conditions can also raise the level of this protein, so it must be done in connection with other tests. Some other conditions that elevate the level of this protein are:  Endometriosis Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Fibroids Pregnancy These tests will let the doctor test directly for cancerous cells:  Laparoscopy. During this procedure the doctor inserts an tiny camera through a little cut in your abdomen and looks at the ovaries directly. A biopsy. The doctor may take a small sample of tissue from your ovaries and test it to see if it is cancerous. Abdominal fluid aspiration. During this procedure the doctor uses a long needle to extract some fluid from your abdomen. That fluid will then be examined to see if it has abnormal cells in it.
