Yes and No: Ca-125 is a test for follow-up after diagnosis and with the treatment of ovarian cancer. It is elevated in many other diseases.The test should not be used for a fishing expedition because it would be misleading and concerning for a patient like you. Why was the test done in the first place? Do you have cancer? In any case a 25 level could be normal? What was the normal range.In the lab?
