The CA 125 Test is a blood test that measures the level of cancer antigen 125 (CA 125), a protein that is often elevated in the blood of individuals with ovarian cancer and other conditions. While CA 125 is commonly used to monitor ovarian cancer, it can also be elevated due to non-cancerous conditions.
Why is the CA 125 Test Done?
✅ Monitor ovarian cancer – Used to track cancer progression and treatment response.
✅ Detect ovarian cancer recurrence – Helps check if cancer has returned after treatment.
✅ Assess pelvic masses – Can help evaluate ovarian cysts or tumors.
✅ Screening for high-risk individuals – Used in women with a family history of ovarian cancer.
