Ovarian Cancer Screening in Belfast City Centre

Ovarian cancer screening and early detection blood tests at our Belfast city centre clinic, with results reviewed in detail by our expert GPs.

Ovarian cancer screening at Vitalis Health

The traditional blood test or tumour marker for ovarian cancer is the CA125 test. But, this can be falsely high in women who have a non cancerous condition called endometriosis.

The HE4 test is more specific than the CA125 and is used along with other information to assess whether symptoms of a mass in the abdomen could be ovarian cancer.

Ultimately, we will refer you for an ultrasound scan to assess that the mass is in the ovary. But, the blood test can help expedite the scan referral and guide us when referring you into the gynae clinic.

See below for the best course of action, depending on your symptoms.

All three of these tests are used in this early cancer screening test

CA 125 – This is a tumour marker that can go up in ovarian cancer but can also go up in other conditions.
HE4 – This is a more specific tumour marker for ovarian cancer called Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4).
ROMA INDEX – This the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm.

Positive Test Result Following Early Screen Test

We will arrange an in person GP appointment to discuss this result with you, examine your abdomen and do a general health check.

With this information, we will refer you as a suspected cancer case to a gynaecologist where a scan of the ovaries and womb will be performed.

The cost of the GP appointment is £140 and includes the cost of the onward referral.

Genetic Tests

We can do a genetic panel for ovarian cancer.

If you are interested in having the NGS panel for ovarian cancer you need to book in to see one of our doctors. This allows us to counsel you about the test. We will also discuss what happens if the test is positive.

How It Works

No symptoms? Book directly for the early screening test below. Have symptoms? Book a GP appointment first for a thorough examination.

Asymptomatic patients attend for a blood test. Symptomatic patients are examined by a GP first, with tests and referrals arranged as needed.

Depending on your results, your doctor may refer you for an ultrasound scan to assess findings further before any onward referral.

Results are reviewed by one of our doctors and shared with you clearly, along with guidance on next steps and any further treatment or referrals needed.

I’ve used Vitalis private health services on a couple of occasions for vaccine and blood test. From the outset, I found them to be warm, welcoming, friendly and very professional. Chloe at the reception always makes you feel invited, and relaxed for whatever reason you are attending, Dr. Sarah is warm, friendly and very informative. Highly recommend Vitalis as your go to private GP service. Thank you both.
