RECRUITING

Use of the CA 125 Algorithm for the Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer in Low Risk Women

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate a method involving 4 blood tests called CA-125, HE4, HE4 antigen autoantibody complexes, and osteopontin that may be helpful in the early detection of ovarian cancer in women who are at low risk.
