Dr. Cai Yi
Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is a large molecular glycoprotein. It is sensitive to ovarian cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, lung cancer, and other conditions. When CA125 levels are elevated, there's no need for excessive concern. Consider visiting a hospital for further examinations to clarify your health status. Maintain a balanced diet in daily life, and consume more varieties of fruits and vegetables. Slightly elevated CA125 levels under normal circumstances can be considered within the normal range.
