No It is Option E.
With D, there has to be a history of ovarian cancer in the family; that too, we offer CA125, and a trans-vaginal USG. Also, rule of thumb is that all markers are used to asssess prognosis, and recurrence. They are never used to diagnose, or screen.

HI fssblue
One such marker is CA 125, a substance in the blood that is elevated in patients with advanced ovarian tumors. It is measure CA 125 levels in patients treated for advanced disease to determine if the tumor has shrunk or if disease has recurred. Its value in monitoring treatment prompted scientists to study its potential for early detection. Its use for screening, however, is investigational Factors associated with a reduced risk of ovarian cancer include: giving birth to more than one child, breast-feeding, tubal ligation (female sterilization), and use of birth control pills. |
