Brief Answer:
Ca 19-9
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In my opinion you have nothing to be concerned. CA 125 is a protein that is a so-called tumor marker or biomarker, which is a substance that is found in greater concentration in tumor cells than in other cells of the body.
It is routine test for the most woman in your age.
