About CA 125 and HE4 ROMA

CA-125

A single blood marker that can be elevated in ovarian cancer.

Limitations

CA 125 can be elevated in many benign conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, menstruation, pregnancy, and pelvic infections

There is a lower sensitivity in early-stage disease and more false positives in premenopausal women. This test is useful for follow up and monitoring when ovarian cancer is already diagnosed.

HE4 + ROMA (Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm)

HE4 is another tumour marker. ROMA combines HE4 + CA-125 + menopausal status to estimate cancer risk

• Higher specificity than CA-125 alone
• Fewer false positives in benign gynaecologic conditions
• More helpful in premenopausal women
• Better at distinguishing benign vs malignant masses

CA125 is not an ovarian cancer screen on its own and must not be seen as one. If you are worried about ovarian cancer, you should book a scan and consultation with MUMS Consultant Gynaecologists and discuss this test and other ovarian cancer testing.

CA 125 looks at the amount of CA 125 protein in your blood. 125 is a Cancer Antigen. CA 125 is widely used to look for early signs of ovarian cancer in women who are at high risk.

CA 125 on its own is not an ovarian cancer diagnostic test. Other conditions can increase CA 125 levels. For example, fibroids can mean the CA 125 is raised as can menstruation.

If you have symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full very quickly or even needing to urinate more quickly and you have a family history of ovarian cancer – you should seek early reassurance and get tested for ovarian cancer.
