CA-125 (Ovarian Cancer Marker) Test at Home in Srinagar
The primary tumour marker for ovarian cancer monitoring and pelvic mass evaluation.
What does the CA-125 Test measure?
CA-125 (Cancer Antigen 125) is a protein found on the surface of many ovarian cancer cells. A CA-125 blood test measures its concentration and is primarily used in monitoring ovarian cancer and evaluating pelvic masses.
Why does it matter?
CA-125 is elevated in roughly 80% of advanced ovarian cancers and is widely used to monitor treatment response and detect recurrence. However, CA-125 is not cancer-specific — endometriosis, fibroids, liver disease, and even menstruation can elevate it, so it is most useful for monitoring known disease rather than general screening.
Who should get this test?
- Women with a known ovarian mass or pelvic pain awaiting specialist evaluation
- Women with a family history of ovarian or BRCA-related cancers
- Patients already diagnosed with ovarian cancer (for monitoring)
- Women over 50 with new pelvic symptoms
