What Does A CA-125 Marker Test Indicate?

Posted on Wed, 2 Mar 2016

Question: How is hsli and two ovarian cysts related? - 1 ovarian cyst is 5.8 cm, the other is 3.3 cm. I had an abnormal pap showing hsli...just recently had a biopsy ...colopscy I am assuming as they didn't really say. And was sent for the ca125 marker tests. I am 35. I am guessing they are looking for cervical cancer? Or ovarian cancer?
