Order Ovarian Cancer Blood Test | CA-125 TestingThe CA-125 blood test measures the level of Cancer Antigen 125, a protein that can be elevated in the blood of some people with ovarian cancer. Because the marker is not specific to that disease, the result is interpreted alongside symptoms, imaging, and other clinical findings rather than used on its own.
About Ovarian Cancer Blood Test | CA-125 Testing in Algonquin
CA-125 is a surface protein found on many ovarian cancer cells and can be detected in the bloodstream.
The test reports the concentration of CA-125 in a blood sample. Elevated levels may occur in ovarian cancer, but they can also appear in benign conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, and liver disease.
Because of this overlap, a normal CA-125 result does not rule out ovarian cancer, and an elevated result does not confirm it. Clinicians use the test as one piece of a broader evaluation that may include a pelvic examination, ultrasound, or other imaging.
CA-125 is also used to monitor response to treatment and to watch for recurrence in people already diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In that setting, changes in the marker over time can be more informative than a single measurement.
