Özet

Objective. Serum CA-125, an ovarian tumor marker, is used especially in the follow-up of ovarian cancer for monitoring the efficacy of therapy and for early detection of recurrence. A number of benign gynecologic as well as benign and malignant nongynecologic conditions are associated with elevated serum CA-125 levels. Malignant and nonmalignant serosal fluids were also found to be associated with high serum levels of CA-125, suggesting that the presence of fluid in the serosal cavities may stimulate its release.
