Also known as: CA125, CANCER ANTIGEN 125

About the Test
CA 125 is a protein that can be elevated in the blood of people with certain conditions affecting the ovaries and abdominal lining. This test is used mainly to monitor women already diagnosed with ovarian cancer and to help assess pelvic masses, rather than as a standalone screen. Because CA 125 can also rise with endometriosis, menstruation, pregnancy and benign conditions, results are interpreted carefully alongside imaging and a clinical review.
What is it? A blood test measuring cancer antigen 125, also called CA125 or CA 125, a tumour marker associated chiefly with ovarian conditions.

How to prepare for the CA 125 test
No fasting is needed for the CA 125 test. You can eat and drink as usual. If possible, note the timing of your menstrual cycle, as levels can be higher around your period; our nurse collects the sample at home in about 20 minutes.
Understanding your CA 125 results
A raised CA 125 does not confirm cancer on its own, since menstruation, endometriosis, pregnancy and other benign conditions can elevate it; trends over time and imaging are more meaningful than a single figure. Your doctor reviews the result before we deliver it, with reports ready in 8 Hours.

Not necessarily. CA 125 can rise with endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic infection, menstruation and pregnancy, as well as some cancers. It is not a diagnostic test by itself and must be interpreted by your doctor with imaging and examination.
Yes. CA 125 often rises around menstruation, so results drawn during your period can read higher. Let the nurse know your cycle timing so your doctor can take this into account when reviewing the report.
On its own it is not recommended for general screening, as it misses some cancers and rises in many harmless conditions. It is most useful for monitoring a known diagnosis or assessing a pelvic mass under specialist guidance.
No fasting is required for CA 125. You can eat and drink normally beforehand. There is no special preparation other than noting your menstrual cycle timing if relevant.
