CA125 test

Hi, just had results of CA125 test at 79, I have had pelvic and trans vaginal ultrasound , okay apart from a 3cm cyst on ovary , which has increased from 2.5 cm since 2011.

What does a result of 79 mean, my GP says it is very low risk, has anyone else knowledge of this type of score, 

i am also experiencing left side pain too but now awaiting another referral to a Colo-Rectal Consultant, could any problems other than gynae raise the CA 125 level?

  • Hi Piggywiggy and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    Some of our members have asked our cancer nurses about this test before so I'm just going to link you to two of their responses; just click here and here to see them. 

    I hope this helps but if you'd prefer to speak to them in person then do give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
