PCs is one of the risk factors for ovarian cancer. But this is not the only risk factor, and also just because you have PCs you won't get ovarian cancer. Cancer is multifactorial. Advanced age, early monarch, late menopause, obesity, family cancer. Currently, at your age you don't need to worry too much about getting cancer. And as per current guidelines no additional screening required without significant family history of cancers. If you do not have other risk factors do not worry much at this time.
