Thank you for forwarding this, but I did a little research and found that the American Cancer Society (ACS) does not endorse using the CA-125 blood test as a screening tool for ovarian cancer as it is inaccurate and highly unreliable, yielding a high number of both false positives and false negatives. Check out:

as well as the ACS website at www.cancer.org.

Just thought I'd pass that along.
