Reasons for high sugar antigen 125

For women, the reproductive system is a very fragile existence, so every woman should pay attention to the health of her reproductive system. For example, ovarian cancer is a relatively serious malignant tumor problem. Before the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, the carbohydrate antigen 125 test becomes a very important detection basis. So what happens if a patient is found to have high levels of carbohydrate antigen 125?

Although CA125 is often used clinically to detect ovarian cancer, this indicator is not necessarily and cannot be used alone as an indicator for diagnosing ovarian cancer. This is because this indicator will increase when the patient has ovarian cyst rupture, peritonitis, liver cirrhosis, benign tumors and other diseases. Therefore, when the patient's physical examination finds that the value of this indicator has increased, it cannot determine the nature of the patient's disease. The patient does not need to be nervous at this time, but should listen to the advice of the attending physician and conduct further examinations to determine the type of disease.

However, since more than 70% of patients are diagnosed in the late stage, the incidence of ovarian cancer is very high, and the mortality rate ranks third among gynecological malignancies. It is the top priority of all such diseases. The reason is that the early symptoms of ovarian cancer are not obvious, and the growth of the site is more hidden. Even if some symptoms appear after the disease, many women will not feel uncomfortable, which means that this part of female patients are found to have late stage and are transferred to other parts of the abdominal cavity.

Although ovarian cancer is dangerous, if it is detected early and has not spread, the patient has a very good chance of being cured. The five-year survival rate is over 90 percent.

Therefore, healthy women should do some tumor marker screening every year that can help diagnose tumors, such as CA125 and other types of marker screening, such as CA199. These are effective methods to exclude and detect cancer cells in the patient's body.

Therefore, patients should pay more attention to abnormal conditions of these indicators during physical examinations and seek medical attention as soon as possible. This is an introduction to the reasons why the carbohydrate antigen CA125 is high. Patients do not need to worry too much about the CA125 indicator. This indicator is only an indicator for detecting ovarian cancer, and there are many reasons for its increase. Avoid fantasies before making a diagnosis.
