In my opinion a normal tumor marker for a Ca-125 is 35
and below. However, there are other things that can effect a tumor marker
and cause it to rise, infections; etc. It does not necessarily mean you
have cancer; however your doctor will watch the marker and perhaps requests
certain tests to rule out cancer. A tumor marker for those with cancer is
an alert system of what may be happening. If it is dropping it means the
therapy is working, if it rises, it mean's the opposite, the tumor is not
responding. Hope this helps and welcome to our forum. Your friend,

Subject: [MOL] What is a normal tumor
marker reading?
Can you tell me what a normal tumor marker is? I had a
ca125 test performed and the reading was 47 and the low to normal range
was below 35. What does this mean. Respond to me: jaydub@unitedindians.com
Thanks Jolene WIlliams
