    What Is Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) Test?

    The CA-125 test measures the level of a specific protein, Cancer Antigen 125, in the blood. This protein can act as a tumour marker and is often elevated in cases of ovarian cancer. The ovaries, which are female reproductive organs responsible for storing and releasing eggs and producing hormones, are one source of CA-125. It is also produced by the lining cells of other organs, such as the fallopian tubes and uterus. Elevated CA-125 levels can be found in a variety of cancers and other health conditions. This test is particularly useful for screening postmenopausal women who are at an increased risk of ovarian cancer due to family history or genetic predisposition. Additionally, it is used to evaluate individuals with symptoms that could suggest ovarian cancer. The CA-125 test is especially valuable for monitoring the progress of ovarian cancer treatment and detecting any recurrence after treatment.

    If you reside in Mumbai and have risk factors or symptoms suggestive of ovarian cancer, your doctor may recommend a CA-125 test, which can be conveniently performed at home to monitor your health or assess your risk.

    Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) Test Parameters

    The CA-125 test has only one parameter: to measure the concentration of the CA-125 protein in the blood.

    This protein is a tumour marker produced by ovarian cancer cells and the cells lining various organs, including the endometrium, fallopian tubes, lungs (pleura), gut (peritoneum), and heart (pericardium). It is widely used in serological tests when ovarian cancer is suspected and for monitoring individuals diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancers. CA-125 is considered to suppress the immune system's ability to destroy diseased cells, such as those that are infected or cancerous.

    Normally, CA-125 remains on the surface of cells, as protective barriers prevent it from entering the bloodstream. However, when these barriers are breached by cancerous cells, CA-125 leaks into the blood, leading to elevated levels that can be detected by the test. Additionally, CA-125 may interact with other proteins within cells, promoting cancer growth and metastasis.

    Elevated levels of CA-125 are most commonly associated with ovarian cancer, particularly epithelial ovarian cancer, but may also occur 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 result in increased CA-125 levels.

    Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) Test Preparation

    Here is how to prepare for a Cancer Antigen 125 test at home:

    Pre-requisites

    Fasting is not necessary before taking the CA-125 test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

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

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

    This test is recommended for diagnosing ovarian cancer in women with symptoms or risk factors such as a family history or genetic predisposition. It is also useful for monitoring women who have already been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and are receiving treatment. After treatment, the test can be performed regularly to check for cancer recurrence.

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

    Keep in mind that elevated CA-125 levels can occur in non-cancerous conditions like pregnancy, menstruation, and fibroids. Consult your doctor about any precautions you should take before the test.

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

    A CA-125 test is a valuable tool in ovarian cancer management and risk assessment. Here’s why you might need this test:

    • Evaluating Pelvic Lumps : When a suspicious lump is detected in the pelvic area through imaging tests, such as ultrasound, CA-125 levels can help determine if the lump might be ovarian cancer.

    • High-Risk Assessment

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

      • Those with genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2.

      • Individuals with hereditary conditions like Lynch syndrome that increase cancer risk.

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

    • Monitoring Treatment : If you’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, CA-125 tests are performed regularly during treatment to track its effectiveness. A drop in CA-125 levels generally suggests that the treatment is working.

    • Checking for Recurrence : After cancer treatment, CA-125 levels might be checked periodically, whether every few months or annually, to see if the cancer has returned.

    Given that elevated CA-125 levels can be found in other conditions, the test is typically used alongside other diagnostic tools to confirm a diagnosis.

    Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) Test Results and Interpretation

    CA-125, a tumour marker, is used to monitor the treatment and progress of individuals with serous ovarian cancer. The table below details the normal blood levels of CA-125 and the conditions associated with its elevation:

    TestBiological Reference (U/mL)Interpretation
