Although the CA125 blood test has not been approved for ovarian cancer screening in asymptomatic women, it is useful in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. So if you have symptoms such as abdominal bloating and pain or change in urinary frequency or bowel movements that could be related to ovarian cancer, you should probably encourage your doctor to order a CA125 blood test. In addition, a pelvic ultrasound would also be another appropriate test to image the ovaries to look for the presence of cancer.View Thread
