However, in the presence of cancer cell of the ovary, increase amount of CA 125 can be found. CA 125 are listed as one of many tumour markers. This is because it helps to check for cases of ovarian cancer in women population that have increased the probability. Nevertheless, another set of a test must be carried as a support result as an evidence for confirmation of cancer cases. The normal presence of CA 125 should be less than 35 U/mL in blood circulation. More CA 125 are seen in women with these abnormal conditions. In period and present of cysts also affect the CA 125. Doctor will ask for a blood test to be done if they suspected any abnormal symptom the women have. Positive outcomes do not mean the women have cancer, but there is a small percentage of women did have cancer.
