Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Measuring levels of CA 125 in blood samples of women who have a high risk of developing ovarian cancer may help doctors detect cancer early and plan more effective treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying CA-125 levels in screening for cancer in women who are at high risk of developing ovarian cancer.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
* At high risk for developing ovarian cancer, as determined by meeting criteria for 1 of the following:
* Family history of at least 2 ovarian or breast\* cancers among the patient and first- and second-degree relatives within the same lineage\*\*
* If breast cancer\* is required to meet this criterion, at least 1 breast cancer\* must be premenopausal (diagnosed at age 50 or under if menopausal status unknown) NOTE: \*\*Multiple primary cancers in the same person satisfies this criterion
* Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity and meets criteria for 1 of the following:
* Prior breast cancer\* diagnosis
* One first-degree or 2 second-degree relatives with breast\* or ovarian cancer
* If breast cancer is required to meet this criterion, at least 1 breast cancer\* must be premenopausal (diagnosed at age 50 or under if menopausal status unknown)
* Probability of BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation greater than 20%, as determined by BRCAPRO 95% posterior probability interval
* This criterion includes the following situations for which BRCAPRO is not required:
