This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained symptoms like persistent abdominal pain, bloating, unusual fatigue, unexplained weight loss, or changes in bowel habits that concern you. It helps detect early signs of various cancers by measuring specific proteins that can be elevated when cancer is present in the body. Many women use this test for peace of mind when they have worrisome symptoms, a family history of cancer, or as part of regular health monitoring.
No special preparation is typically required for tumor marker testing. You can take this test at any time of day, and fasting is generally not necessary. However, it's best to take the test when you're feeling relatively well, as recent infections or inflammation can sometimes temporarily affect marker levels. If you're undergoing cancer treatment or taking specific medications, let the lab know as this can help with result interpretation.
This comprehensive panel evaluates six key tumor markers that can indicate different types of cancer. CA 15-3 and CA-125 help monitor breast and ovarian cancers, CEA can detect colorectal and other cancers, AFP is a marker for liver cancer, CA 19-9 helps identify pancreatic and digestive tract cancers, and Beta-2 Microglobulin can indicate blood cancers. Together, these markers provide a broad screening for cancer presence throughout the body and help identify which areas may need closer medical attention.
What this means
Your CA-125 level is slightly elevated above the normal range. While this can be associated with ovarian cancer, it's important to know that many benign conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, or even menstruation can also raise CA-125 levels. This result warrants follow-up testing and discussion with your healthcare provider to determine the cause.
Recommended actions
Schedule a follow-up test in 4-8 weeks to monitor if levels are rising, stable, or decreasing
Document any symptoms like bloating, pelvic pain, or changes in your menstrual cycle
Consider pelvic imaging (ultrasound) to evaluate for cysts, fibroids, or other structural issues
Consult with your gynecologist or healthcare provider to discuss your results and determine if specialist referral is needed
