Re: CA-125 blood test and ovarian cyst

Hi Ann,

If you go through the archives, you will find a lot of information about the CA-125 Blood Test, as it has been discussed on the forum many times.

I just went to see what I could find and there was an entry in there from Dr. Vera (can't remember her last name, I apologize), and she said that a fibroid can elevate the reading on the test.

Hope this helps.
