CA125 is a protein often found on the surface of ovarian cancer cells and in some normal tissues. Women with ovarian cancer often have a high level of this protein in their blood.
A high level of CA125 in your blood could be a sign of ovarian cancer. It can also be a result of other conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids and even pregnancy.
If a test shows you have high levels of CA125, you may be referred for a scan to check for possible causes.
The CA 125 can vary from time to time. Some people have an elevated number due to inflammation somewhere in the body. CA 125 will usually decrease after effective treatment.
