Individual tumour markers for cancer screening.

Booking details

Overview

The CA-125 Test is a blood screening that measures the level of Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125), a protein found in greater concentration in ovarian cancer cells and certain other conditions. This marker is primarily used in the evaluation and monitoring of ovarian cancer, as well as assessing other gynecological conditions. While elevated CA-125 levels can indicate ovarian cancer, they may also be elevated in benign conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, and even during menstruation or pregnancy. This test is most valuable when used alongside other diagnostic tools and clinical assessments to provide a comprehensive picture of gynecological and abdominal health.

Before you book a CA 125 blood test

A CA 125 blood test measures cancer antigen 125, a protein that can be found in the blood. It is sometimes used by clinicians alongside an examination and imaging, or to monitor someone who is already under specialist care.

Important limits of this test
  • CA 125 does not diagnose ovarian cancer and is not an ovarian cancer screening test
  • It can be raised for many other reasons, including periods, endometriosis, fibroids and pregnancy
  • A normal result does not rule cancer out
  • If you have symptoms such as persistent bloating, pelvic pain or feeling full quickly, see your GP — do not rely on a blood test alone

CA 125 blood test questions

What does a CA 125 blood test measure?

It measures the level of cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) in your blood. This test reports CA 125 only.

Can a CA 125 test tell me if I have ovarian cancer?

No. CA 125 can be raised in many conditions that are not cancer, and it can be normal when cancer is present. Diagnosis needs a clinical assessment and usually imaging.

Who might book this test?

A CA 125 test is usually requested by a clinician, or used to monitor a level that is already being followed. If you are booking because of new symptoms, speak to your GP first.
