Why this test?
This test measures blood levels of CA-125, a tumor marker most commonly associated with ovarian cancer, although it may also be elevated in conditions affecting other female reproductive organs such as the fallopian tubes and uterus, as well as in certain benign conditions. The measurement of CA-125 helps initially identify abnormalities that may be further investigated under medical guidance, as a definitive diagnosis requires a comprehensive evaluation of additional factors determined by the healthcare professional in charge.
