What are my chances of getting Ovarian Cancer if my Grandmother had it & passed away from it? - ovarian cancer month

My grandmother died of ovarian cancer in 2002. I had a Pap smear that was negative, and had ovarian cysts each month during the last 1 1 / 2 years.

The Pap smear does not recognize ovarian cancer - cancer of the cervix is visible.

I know it is a test for ovarian cancer. I can not remember if it can be seen in the DNA markers and to detect ovarian cancer - remember it is expensive and has a high rate of false positives, but for someone with a family HX of ovarian cancer, it might be useful. I want to talk to your doctor about your options.
