Brief Answer:
Details need to be correlated clinically
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXX
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the details that you have provided. You seem to have multiple problems and are being evaluated whether the conditions are benign or cancerous. Both CA-125 and CA-19-9 are tumor markers and are helpful for the same. You have not indicated that the level of 59 is for which of CA-125 and CA-19-9. In any case, the level seems elevated and might be a cause of concern. The following links should be able to guide you in this regard:

A proper clinical correlation is required and it is difficult for me to consider the different aspects of the case through such a platform. I suggest that you take the reports to your treating physician and request him to clearly explain the scenario.
