Frequently asked questions

What does a CA 125 report format look like?

The report lists a single CA 125 result with unit, reference range, and status, plus a clinical notes section explaining the marker — as shown in the sample report above.

Do I need to fast before a CA 125 test?

No fasting or special preparation is needed for a CA 125 test.

Does a high CA 125 always mean cancer?

No — CA 125 can rise in several non-cancerous conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy, and even menstruation, so an elevated result needs to be interpreted alongside imaging and a doctor's evaluation.

How long does a CA 125 report take?

Dr.Lably-powered labs typically report CA 125 results within about 24 hours of sample collection.
