There is currently no routine screening process for early detection of ovarian cancer. However, if there is a family history of ovarian cancer or breast cancer at a young age, or multiple generations of colon, pancreatic or prostate cancer, your doctor should recommend genetic counseling and testing.
If you believe your doctor either failed to order the appropriate tests, ordered a test but didn’t read the results, or failed to interpret the test results correctly,
call the Porter Law Group. If a doctor’s negligence resulted in your ovarian cancer progressing or in a worsening of your prognosis, then you may be entitled to compensation for your pain, suffering, and medical bills.
