Inclusion in the study will be on the basis of a family history of cancer confirmed by histopathology report or death certification or a documented mutation of an OC causing gene. The UK FOCSS inclusion criteria have been devised to include all women who have a greater than or equal to 10% life time risk of ovarian cancer. This corresponds to a BRCA carrier probability of greater than or equal to 25% in the volunteer or greater than or equal to 50% in a FDR (first degree relative) of the volunteer including:
1. Families with ovarian or ovarian and breast cancer
2. Families with a known gene mutation
3. Families with colorectal cancer (HNPCC or Lynch syndrome)
4. Families with only breast cancer
5. Families with Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity (additional criteria). Full details available from co-ordinating centre.
6. Female, aged between 35 and 75 years
1. Past history of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (N.B. Women who have undergone bilateral oophorectomy but who still have one or more Fallopian Tube in situ are eligible as they may be at increased risk of Fallopian Tube Cancer)
2. Less than 35 years of age
3. Women participating in other OC screening trials
