They can ask for an inhibin test if past menopause.

High Inhibin does not mean you have cancer but it can mean something strange is going on.

Some tumors that produce inhibin are benign. Others turn out not to be benign.

Also if it runs in your family you can get an ultrasound every year to check progress of your female parts.

Beware that even with a full hysterectomy, women can still get ovarian cancer.

I have a good neighbor friend that had surgery for ovarian cancer earlier this year and is still undergoing chemo, years after having a full hysterectomy. Her doctors also told her that it might come back again even after all she's gone through.

Seriously?

I have two ovarian cysts. The one on my left side is the size of a basketball apparently. So far, benign.

But how do you know if it becomes cancerous?
