We need a better testing method. Fortunatley, researchers are working on it. An associate professor of radiology from Alabama has developed a way to program the gene that makes certain marine jellyfish glow green to glow only when introduced to ovarian cancer cells. The glow is bright enough to be detected by a special ultrasound or probe used during a pelvic exam. The researcher predicts the test may be available in the next five years. By that time it won't do be much good because I will most likely be menopausal! But I'm glad that a better test is on the horizon.
