Answer 1

Yes - it is very much with in normal limit/range -

While this test is not generally regarded as useful for large scale screening by the medical community, a high value may be an indication that the woman should receive further diagnostic screening or treatment. Normal values range from 0 to 35. Elevated levels in post-menopausal women are usually an indication that further screening is necessary. In pre-menopausal women, the test is less reliable as values are often elevated due to a number of non-cancerous causes, and a value above 35 is not necessarily a cause for concern.

CA-125, also known as Cancer Antigen 125, is an abbreviation for cancer antigen 125. CA-125 is a tumor marker or biomarker that may be elevated in the blood of some people with specific types of cancers. CA-125 is a mucinous glycoprotein and the product of the MUC16 gene. It is best known as a marker for ovarian cancer, but it may also be elevated in other malignant cancers, including those originating in the endometrium, fallopian tubes, lungs, breast and gastrointestinal tract. CA125 may also be elevated in a number of relatively benign conditions, such as endometriosis, several diseases of the ovary.-

Answer 2

i'm very conscious of the CA-a hundred twenty five. I easily have had this blood attempt a pair of diverse cases. The CA-a hundred twenty five is a attempt for uterine cancer "no longer" breast cancer. Uterine cancer is the "basically" cancer it could hit upon.
