ThyrocareAbout CA-125 — Ovarian Cancer Marker
This specialized tumor marker test measures the concentration of Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125) protein in the blood. CA-125 is a surface antigen primarily shed by ovarian cancer cells, making it a key biomarker for evaluating ovarian health and cellular abnormalities. Why it is important: The CA-125 test is a crucial clinical tool used primarily for monitoring therapeutic responses during ovarian cancer treatment and detecting early signs of disease recurrence. While it is not a definitive standalone screening tool for the general population—as benign conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or menstruation can also cause elevated levels—it provides vital diagnostic insights when evaluated alongside clinical imaging for high-risk individuals.
