Re: cancer screeningFrom: Art Fougner, MD (evsono@pipeline.com)Tue Oct 5 14:30:39 1999
ok - here's an anecdote. patient is a 51 yr cancer-phobe who persuades her gyn to send off a CA 125. At about 1yr post menopause, her level is 50. TVS reveals no masses. CA125 repeated 3 mos later is 1000! repeat scan again no masses, but now moderate amt of free pelvic fluid noted. w/u essentially negative and pt has laparoscopy at which time disseminated intraperitoneal carcinomatosis is noted with ovaries normal save for external implants. path - papillary serous carcinoma - primary?. scary, no?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
