A member asked:

Ca125 was 50 two months ago due to irregular bleeding, and i had ultrasound 2 months ago it was clear. retested ca125 came back 95, could ovarian cancer have grown since then and wasnt visible at the time? im 25?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
