Can you see ovarian cancer through a laproscopy?!
Question: I am worried I may have ovarian cancer. I went to the doctors and she said I should get a laproscopy. I didn't tell her I was worried about ovarian cancer. Will the doctor be able to tell if I have ovarian cancer through a laproscopy?

laproscopy has a looksie at everything inside and if something is amiss they will take a sample and send it to pathology.
best of luck and i will be thinking of you !
Most cancers require a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. During the laparoscopy if there is abnormal looking tissue in the ovary, the surgeon can remove it and send it to the lab where it can be determined whether or not it is cancerous.
Best of luck!
