The purpose of this study is to improve how the risk of developing ovarian cancer is assessed in people who may be at increased risk of ovarian cancer due to their family history or genetic background. In current clinical practice, ovarian cancer risk assessment usually relies on information about cancer in the family and, in some cases, genetic testing for certain genes known to be associated with ovarian cancer. While this approach is commonly used, the inclusion of additional factors may support more personalised ovarian cancer risk assessment. This study compares two approaches to ovarian cancer risk assessment: * Standard clinical practice, which follows current national guidelines, and * A more personalised risk assessment, which uses a validated tool called CanRisk, recommended by European guidelines, to combine family history, genetic test results, and other factors, including health and lifestyle-related factors. By comparing these two approaches, the study aims to understand whether the personalised risk assessment tool, CanRisk, can be used in everyday clinical care. To do this, researchers will investigate whether the CanRisk tool is feasible in clinical practice, acceptable to both healthcare professionals and persons receiving a risk assessment, as well as whether it can be delivered in a cost-effective way. The study does not involve people who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It focuses on individuals who are currently cancer-free and are undergoing assessment because they may have an increased risk of ovarian cancer.
