CA 125
About This Test
CA-125 is a protein released from cells lining the ovaries and the inside of the abdomen (peritoneum). Levels can rise with ovarian cancer, but also with non-cancer causes like menstruation, endometriosis, pregnancy, or pelvic infections. Doctors mainly use it together with ultrasound or other tests rather than on its own. This test is commonly included in targeted check-ups to support early detection and monitoring when there’s a known risk or symptoms.
