This is great news! (I could never figure out what took so long to come up with such a test...but thankfully, this might be it!)

Hi, this is an update. The Ovasure test is for early detection of ovarian cancer in high-risk women. I had this test done through Yale before the test became available through Labcorp as the Ovasure test, as just one more method of keeping an eye on things, because my aunt died of ovarian cancer and there is so much bc in my family. I do feel it is important to track the controversy about the test, so I am posting this link:

The FDA letter was posted on the FDA website at
