About the Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125) test

Before your sample

No fasting is usually necessary. CA-125 alone cannot screen for or diagnose ovarian cancer reliably.

CA-125 can rise in benign conditions such as menstruation or endometriosis. Ultrasound and clinical assessment may be required.

Clinical safety: A laboratory test is one part of clinical assessment. Do not delay urgent medical attention for chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe bleeding or serious illness.
