Being a tumoral marker that will be the main concern specifically if trending up. There should be a reason for why the test is being checked that is not apparent in your question and that is why your ordering doc would be best to further explain.

CA 125 is not a good test for diagnosis of ovarian cancer. It can be used to monitor the disease once the diagnosis is made. There are other causes of elevation of CA 125 than do not involve cancer.
