Hi, CA 125 test are measured in units per milliliter (U/mL) The normal value is less than 46 U/mL. If your CA 125 level is higher than normal, you may have a benign condition, or the test result could mean that you have ovarian, endometrial, peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer. Your doctor may recommend other tests and procedures to determine your diagnosis. If you've been diagnosed with ovarian, endometrial, peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer, a decreasing CA 125 level often indicates that the cancer is responding to treatment. A rising CA 125 level may indicate a return or continued growth of the cancer. A number of normal and noncancerous conditions can cause an elevated CA 125 level, including: Endometriosis Liver disease Menstruation Pelvic inflammatory disease Pregnancy Uterine fibroids so once consult a doctor he can identify whether it's normal cyst or cancerous tumor. Now no need to worry. Normally in most of the cases it's non cancerous anyways consult a doctor.
