CA125 is a protein found in the blood, and elevated levels may indicate a potential possibility of ovarian cancer. Nonetheless, a high CA125 result is not a conclusive diagnosis and requires further medical evaluation.

Why Test for CA125?

This blood test is commonly done for:

• Further investigation if your doctor recommends it due to possible ovarian cancer symptoms.
• Detecting ovarian cancer in postmenopausal individuals, even without symptoms.

Preparation Requirements for CA125

• Consume a lot of water in the 24 hours leading up to your test to help make the blood removal easier.
• Wear loose-fitting clothing that enables both arms and hands to be easily accessed.
• If you take anticoagulants, it's best to wait until after your appointment. However, if necessary, you may take them beforehand.
• If you're nervous about needles, let your provider know so they will help keep you calm.
