CA125

CA125


The CA125 test checks the amount of cancer antigen 125 (CA125), a protein that can be elevated in certain medical conditions. While it is often associated with monitoring ovarian cancer, raised levels can also occur in non-cancerous conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic infections, or even during menstruation. This test is typically used alongside other investigations and is not a standalone diagnostic test.
