  • Title: CA125 measured during menstruation can be misleading.
    Author: Crosby DA, Glover LE, Martyn F, Wingfield M.
    Journal: Ir Med J; 2018 Apr 19; 111(4):738. PubMed ID: 30488683.
    Abstract:
    The aim of these case reports and literature review is to report the importance of cyclical variation of serum CA-125 levels in two patients with endometriosis. Two case reports and a literature review of cyclical variation in serum CA-125 levels are discussed. There was significant variation in serum CA-125 levels taken during menses and mid-cycle in these two cases. Serum CA-125 levels increase dramatically during menstruation in women with endometriosis. This is important when assessing disease status.
