A member asked:

Due to stomach symptoms amongst other symptoms my dr tested my ca125 level & it came back at 141, my doctor is referring me for an ultrasound. i feel v nervous it could be a cancer? are my chances of it being ovarian cancer low due to my age? im 32?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High ca125: There are nonmalignant pelvic causes of an elevated ca125 in addition to ovarian cancer. If you have a family history of ovarian cancer or have the BRCA 1 or BRACA 2 genes, you have a higher risk for ovarian cancer. I trust you have an experienced gynecologist supervising & interpreting your testing results so that you will receive an accurate diagnosis, appropriate care& any needed consultants
