A member asked:

Is ca-125 100% accurate? i had yearly blood work done and my result are 40 u/ml. could i have cancer? i was on my menstrual cycle when test was done.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not accurate: Curious as to why a CA-125 level was drawn, since it's not a recommended routine test. There are many reasons why a result may be slightly elevated, including ovulation and menstruation. It's best to discuss these results with your doctor.
