Hello,
CA-125 may be elevated in pancreatic carcinoma, breast carcinoma, lymphoma, colorectal carcinoma etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Get it done CT scan abdomen and endoscopy with peritoneal fluid analysis may give you a clue.
Please consult your oncologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
