    The CA-125 is a marker test for ovarian cancer. As for blood tests for other cancers like uterine cancer, there are genetic marker tests for breast cancer but as far as diagnosing it by blood not yet.

    Scientists are always trying to come up with better ways to test for cancers. A good site where you can go to find out more what's going on in the testing aspect for cancer please check out: http://www.cancer.org/

    i'm very familiar with the CA-one hundred twenty five. I even have had this blood attempt a pair of diverse cases. The CA-one hundred twenty five is a attempt for uterine maximum cancers "no longer" breast maximum cancers. Uterine maximum cancers is the "basically" maximum cancers it could come across.
