Process & Results

Overview of the CA125 Blood Test:

The CA125 Blood Test measures the level of a specific protein in the blood, known as CA125. Elevated CA125 levels can serve as a potential indicator of ovarian cancer risk. However, it's crucial to note that a raised CA125 level is not a definitive diagnosis, and further investigation is necessary.

CA125 Blood Test for Males and Females:

While CA125 testing is more commonly used in females for ovarian cancer monitoring, it can also be relevant in certain contexts for males with specific types of cancer.

In females, CA125 testing may be part of routine monitoring for ovarian cancer in individuals at high risk or for those who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer previously. In males, CA125 testing may be ordered by healthcare providers in specific clinical scenarios where it is deemed relevant for monitoring cancer progression or treatment response.

Procedure of the CA125 Blood Test:

A health care professional collects a blood sample, usually from a vein in the arm. The procedure is quick and involves minimal discomfort.

Preparation and Risks:

No special preparation is needed for the blood test. Risks associated with blood tests are minimal, typically involving slight pain or bruising at the needle site.

Interpreting the Results:

Normal CA125 Levels:
- Indicate:
  - No significant elevation.
  - Ovarian cancer risk is less likely.
Elevated CA125 Levels:
- Indicate:
  - Potential risk of ovarian cancer.
  - Further investigation is required for a definitive diagnosis.

Individuals with elevated CA125 levels should consult healthcare providers promptly for further investigations and appropriate medical guidance. The CA125 Blood Test plays a vital role in ovarian cancer risk assessment, emphasizing the importance of timely and thorough follow-up testing for a comprehensive diagnosis
