About this test
A CA125 (Cancer Antigen 125) test measures the amount of protein CA125 (Cancer Antigen 125) in blood. It is a tumor marker used to monitor certain cancers (particularly ovarian cancer) during and after therapy. In some high-risk individuals, the test may be used to look for early signs of an ovarian tumor. Serial measurements help to detect cancer recurrence and predict response to therapy. This test is not considered useful for cancer detection screening in the normal population.
