Is using the 'Risk of malignancy' index useful

Hi,
I have seen something about Doctors using the RMI equation to work out your chances of a tumor being malignant. I am fretting as mine works out at 327 and I have read that anything over 200 is likely to be cancer.  Can anyone offer any info?
Thanks
Kate

I never heard of it myself.  

Perhaps someone on the Ovarian Cancer forum would know more?  You may want to join that community as well to ask questions.

I am not familiar with how medical approvals work in the UK.  Perhaps your doctor is just trying to get documentation that will get you approved for surgery.  He/she is just trying to make sure you get attention.  That is my take on it.

I will be thinking positive thoughts for you.  Please keep us informed.  I do want to hear that this all turns out to be benign.

Thank you so much MarieMichele for answering my worries on this and my CA125 result.  I am a worrier and this waiting is very hard.  I will take on board what you have said and I will tell my husband who is very worried too.  Thank you so much for being there and for giving very sound advice.  
I will let you know how I get on.
Kate
