Myth or Fact? 🌸 Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month ❌ MYTH: “A CA-125 blood test can screen healthy women for ovarian cancer.” ✅ FACT: CA-125 is not a reliable screening test for women without symptoms. It can be elevated for many reasons and may also be normal even when ovarian cancer is present. CA-125 is much more useful in the evaluation and monitoring of women who have already been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, alongside clinical examination and imaging. 💜 A blood test is not a substitute for appropriate evaluation. If you have symptoms or concerns about ovarian cancer, speak to your gynecologist about the right investigations for you. ✨ The right test, for the right woman, at the right time. 6 hours ago Call now
