What is this exam?
CA-125 is present during embryonic development at the level of the coelomic epithelium and in the amniotic fluid is found in a high percentage of ovarian tumours of epithelial origin and can be detected in the serum of women with invasive primary ovarian cancer.
Why get one?
A high level of a certain tumour marker can indicate a certain type of cancer. It helps the oncologist decide what treatment or combination will work best for a certain type of cancer and evaluate how well the treatment worked. Sometimes, tumour markers are used for screening to help detect a certain type of cancer in people at high risk before they have signs or symptoms.

Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier
Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Limit of Detection:
Less than or equal to 5.0 mIU/mL.
Accuracy and Precision:
The relative standard deviation from the target value is ≤ 15%. The within assay CV is ≤ 15%. The between assay CV is ≤ 15%.
Measuring Range:
20~500.0 U/mL
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: N/A
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to validation schedule.
- Event-triggered- QC/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Accuracy and Precision:
The accuracy of these ovarian kits is based on the relative deviation. The relative deviation is the average deviation from the actual result value.
The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same sample is analysed again. The between-assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample is reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
Healthy females are expected to have a value below 35 U/mL in the serum.
Out-of-range results:
Any value above 35 U/mL is considered abnormal. Those with elevated levels may be at risk.
