: Ca125 elevations may be caused by processes other than ovarian cancer, however, see a GYN oncologist for guidance, as not all ovarian cancer will show up on ultrasound, and a diagnostic laparoscopy may be indicated.

I have no symptoms of ovarian cancer, an incidental blood test showed elevated ca125 of 52. This has caused be extreme anxiety. I had clear ultrasound but worried I have cancer somewhere in my body. Im 25 this is making me sick with worry?

I am worried I have ovarian cancer. I have had some pelvic pain for three months. I've had ultrasound , ca125 and MRI scan. All show nothing.

Recent ultrasound found .8 cm uterine polyp or fibroid (solid lesion isoechoic to the myomentum). Doc recommends hysteroscopy to remove but said shes not concerned for cancer. I had a colon polyp removed last year that was precancerous. Scared?

56,doc says still not in menopause, had D&C & hysteroscopy for polyp, all benign, also have ovarian cyst,if cancer,would results have showed something?
