About this service
Description
The CA 125 test is used to find out the amount of cancer antigen 125 present in the blood. It is found in ovarian cancer cells. Ovarian cancer develops due to the occurrence of abnormal growth on ovary cells, which is commonly known as a tumour. The CA 125 blood test is a screening tool that is used for monitoring the presence of ovarian cancer in the body.
Overview of the CA 125 Test
The CA 125 test is a blood test that is prescribed by the doctor to measure the amount of cancer antigen 125 in the body. CA-125 is a biomarker that is a sign of the presence of a disease or medical condition. If the CA 125 level is higher than the normal range, then it indicates the chances of ovarian cancer in a woman. However, this marker is not absolute for detecting ovarian cancer as it can be false negative or false positive. If a doctor orders a CA-125 test, it means it is a part of the overall monitoring of certain types of cancers.

Why it's done
A CA-125 test is prescribed for women with high chances of developing ovarian cancer. Other than this, the doctor may ask a diagnosed ovarian cancer patient to undergo this test. Usually, it is done to monitor the progress of cancer treatment. A CA-125 blood test is also recommended for recovered patients with ovarian cancer to check for cancer reoccurrence.
Women with a high risk of developing ovarian cancer may fall into one of these categories:
- Inherited genes of BRCA 1 & BRCA 2
- Family history of the same disease.
- Previously diagnosed with breast, uterine, or colon cancer
