Follow-Up Tests

As an ovarian cancer survivor, you can expect to be closely monitored at every stage. After surgery and during treatment, the purpose of these visits is to:

• Monitor your response to treatment
  
• Recognize and immediately address any treatment-related complications
  
• Provide early detection of persistent or recurrent disease

Follow-up visits with your physician will generally include a recto pelvic examination, physical examination and possibly an ultrasound or CT scan as well as blood tests to assess your overall health.
