| Scientific Background: | CA-125 is a tumor marker has been shown to be elevated in the blood of some patients with specific types of cancers, or other benign conditions. CA-125 is best known for its role as a biomarker for ovarian but elevated levels have also been associated with endometrial, fallopian tube, lung, breast, and gastrointestinal cancer. CA-125 also known as mucin 16 or MUC16 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MUC16 gene. MUC16 is a member of the mucin family glycoproteins. |
