A Ca-125 is a blood test they do that is a tumor marker. This test is used for
ovarian cancer detection.  However, when it is done on a woman with endo it
can come out high. Normal range for this test is ( according to my DR) 35 and
under.  So anything higher warrents looking into.  However, most of the women I
talk to all say they had a reading of 200-300 with endo and cancer was never
found. I hope this helps. I am not sure about Thibroids that is a term that
I never had to deal with maybe someone else can help with this?  Good luck
