Any comment on current blood screenings? Any faith in the gene methylation screening I'm reading about?
Is hormone replace as effective as natural hormones for women with with a family history for arterial scelorsis?
Yikes, sorry to bug you, but curiosity is getting the best of me.
The genetic markers can be used, but you have to ask yourself what you will do with the answer...a positive test doesn't guarantee you will get the cancer, and a negative doesn't guarantee you won't.....Some women will proceed with bilateral oophorectomy if the genetic markers are positive for the piece of mind....others would just use this data to be more diligent in screening. The exact mechanisms of this screening isn't dogmatically scribled in stone...but generally would be a yearly pelvic exam, probably a pelvic sono every few years and anytime a question is raised by the exam....and a CA - 125 every couple years.....some would do this more often.
