PROVIDER INITIATED TEST - The CA-125 test measures the level of cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), a protein that may be elevated in certain gynecologic conditions. It is most commonly used to monitor ovarian cancer treatment response or detect disease recurrence, rather than as a general screening test.
CA-125 levels can also be elevated in non-cancerous conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, menstruation, or pregnancy. Because of this, results are interpreted in the context of clinical findings and other diagnostic tests.
