About the Ovarian Cancer Screening
Our Ovarian Cancer Risk Screening is available at St Paul's Medical and Dental, 5 Ave Maria Lane, London EC4M 7AQ. Located near St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London, our clinic offers convenient access for professionals working in the Square Mile. This screening includes 3 biomarkers with results available in 1 working day, priced at £249 inclusive of blood draw by a registered nurse.
Ovarian cancer affects over 7,500 women each year in the UK, according to Cancer Research UK. Early symptoms — such as persistent bloating, feeling full quickly, or abdominal discomfort — can be subtle and overlap with other conditions. This screening measures CA-125, a protein that can be elevated in ovarian cancer, though it can also be raised due to other conditions including endometriosis, fibroids, or menstruation.
While CA-125 alone is not a definitive indicator, it provides a useful baseline measurement, particularly for women with a family history of ovarian or breast cancer, or those carrying BRCA1/BRCA2 gene variants. Changes in CA-125 levels over time can be more informative than a single reading. This screening is intended to complement, not replace, clinical assessment and imaging when indicated.
Our City of London clinic is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The clinic is a short walk from St Paul’s Underground station (Central line) and City Thameslink rail station. Appointments are available throughout the day, and results include a detailed nurse-written review. To book your Ovarian Cancer Risk Screening, call 020 7183 3709 or book online.

Clinical Indications for Ovarian Screening
Ovarian cancer frequently presents with vague, non-specific symptoms. Tumour marker measurement can identify elevations warranting further gynaecological assessment, particularly in women with established risk factors.
Early-stage disease often lacks specific symptoms
Early identification associated with improved prognosis
Routine venepuncture with rapid turnaround
Indicated for women with positive family history
Appropriate for BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers
Baseline establishment for longitudinal monitoring
Who Should Take This Test?
Post-Menopausal Women
Risk increases after menopause; periodic screening may be appropriate.
Family History
First-degree relatives with ovarian or breast cancer confer elevated personal risk.
BRCA Gene Carriers
Women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations have significantly increased lifetime risk.
Persistent Symptoms
Abdominal bloating, pelvic discomfort, early satiety, or altered urinary frequency.
How to Prepare
Stay well hydrated
Drink plenty of water before your appointment. Good hydration makes it easier for the registered nurse to draw your blood sample.
Bring a list of current medications
Some medications can affect biomarker levels. Knowing what you take helps our team interpret your results accurately.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours beforehand
Intense physical activity can temporarily affect certain blood markers including liver enzymes, muscle markers, and hormone levels.
