    What Is Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) Test?

    The CA-125 test measures the levels of a protein called Cancer Antigen 125 in the blood, which can serve as a tumour marker and may be elevated in certain cancers, especially ovarian cancer. The ovaries, which are the reproductive organs in females responsible for producing eggs and hormones, produce this protein. CA-125 is also found in the cells lining the fallopian tubes and uterus. Elevated CA-125 levels are not exclusive to cancer and can occur in various health conditions. The test is particularly useful in screening postmenopausal women who have a high risk of developing ovarian cancer, such as those with a family history or genetic predisposition. It is also used to assess individuals showing symptoms suggestive of ovarian cancer. The CA-125 test is essential for monitoring the response to ovarian cancer treatment and detecting cancer recurrence after treatment.

    If you are in Gurgaon and have risk factors or symptoms that raise concerns about ovarian cancer, your doctor may suggest a CA-125 test, which can be conveniently performed at home to monitor your health and assess your risk.

    Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) Test Parameters

    The CA-125 test measures only one parameter: the levels of CA-125 in blood.

    CA-125 is a protein in the bloodstream, which serves as a tumour marker produced by ovarian cancer cells and the cells lining organs like the endometrium, fallopian tubes, lungs (pleura), gut (peritoneum), and heart (pericardium). This test is primarily used in serological testing for suspected ovarian cancer and for monitoring patients already diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancers. CA-125 is thought to suppress the immune system’s ability to eliminate diseased cells, such as those infected or cancerous.

    Under normal conditions, CA-125 stays on the cell surface, protected by barriers that prevent it from entering the bloodstream. When these barriers are compromised by cancerous cells, CA-125 leaks into the blood, leading to elevated levels detectable by tests. Moreover, CA-125 may interact with other proteins within cells, promoting cancer growth and metastasis.

    Elevated CA-125 levels are most often associated with ovarian cancer, particularly epithelial ovarian cancer, but may also be seen in other cancers, such as those of the uterus, breast, and fallopian tubes. Non-cancerous conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, and endometriosis, as well as normal physiological states like early pregnancy, the postpartum period, and menstruation, can also lead to increased CA-125 levels.

    Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) Test Preparation

    Preparing for a Cancer Antigen 125 test at home is simple with these guidelines:

    Pre-requisites

    You do not need to fast before taking the CA-125 test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    The CA-125 test can be taken at any time during the day.

    Who Should Get a Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125) Test

    The CA-125 test is recommended for women who need to diagnose ovarian cancer, especially those with symptoms or risk factors such as a family history or genetic predisposition. It is also appropriate for monitoring women diagnosed with ovarian cancer who are undergoing treatment. After treatment, regular tests may be conducted to monitor for cancer recurrence.

    Cautions Before Taking a Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125) Test

    Be aware that CA-125 levels may be elevated in non-cancerous conditions, including pregnancy, menstruation, and fibroids. Consult your doctor to learn about any specific precautions you should take before the test.

    Why Take the Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) Test?

    A CA-125 test is a valuable tool for managing ovarian cancer and assessing your risk. Here’s why you might need this test:

    • Monitor Treatment Progress : For individuals diagnosed with ovarian cancer, regular CA-125 testing during treatment is essential to monitor the effectiveness of the therapy. A decrease in CA-125 levels is a good sign that the treatment is working.

    • Evaluate Pelvic Lumps : If a suspicious lump is found in the pelvic area during imaging tests like an ultrasound, CA-125 levels can help determine if the lump might be ovarian cancer.

    • Check for Recurrence : Following the completion of cancer treatment, CA-125 levels may be checked periodically, whether every few months or annually, to monitor for any recurrence of the cancer.

    • High-Risk Assessment

      • Those with a family history of ovarian, breast, or colorectal cancer.

      • Individuals with specific genetic mutations like BRCA1 or BRCA2.

      • People with hereditary conditions, such as Lynch syndrome, that increase cancer risk.

      • Anyone with a history of ovarian, breast, colorectal, or uterine cancer.

    Since elevated CA-125 levels can occur in other conditions, the test is usually used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools to confirm a diagnosis.

    Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) Test Results and Interpretation

    CA-125 functions as a tumour marker for overseeing the treatment and progress of patients with serous ovarian cancer. The table below presents the normal CA-125 protein levels in the blood and the conditions linked to elevated levels:

    • Awesome experience.. very fast and smooth process. Quick response from Orange Health team. I needed to get my covid test done and called almost 10 diagnostic centers none of them responded since it was sunday although they have mentioned they were open but when i called them they said they would come on the next day. (Not to take any names) But Orange Health care team were very prompt. I just checked in their websites. Got a response call within a minute. The executive was very helpful, clear and he surely did know how to talk a patient or person in need , i did feel a sense of caring nature and he sorted it out quickly, arranged the sample collection in the next hour.. Even the lab technician (sample collector) was punctual and He took proper safety measures. And yes!! I got my reports within 4 hours ( i was hoping to get it on the next day) Awesome guys.. keep up the good work.. A Satisfied Patron. 😌
