我是否应该让医生安排我接受 CA 125 血液检测以筛查卵巢癌?

回答 Tatnai Burnett, M.D.

对于卵巢癌风险处于平均水平的女性,通常不建议进行肿瘤抗原 125(CA 125)血液检测。

卵巢癌有时会导致血液中 CA 125 水平较高。但这并不适用于所有卵巢癌患者。CA 125 水平高并不意味着患有卵巢癌。

其他诸多医疗状况也可能导致 CA 125 水平升高,包括:

  • 子宫内膜异位症
  • 肝硬化
  • 月经
  • 盆腔炎性疾病
  • 子宫肌瘤

出于这些原因,医务人员不建议对卵巢癌风险处于平均水平的女性进行 CA 125 检测。

医务人员有时会建议卵巢癌高风险人群进行 CA 125 检测。但并非所有医务人员都认同这一建议。如果您的家族中存在增加乳腺癌和卵巢癌患病风险的基因,您的患病风险可能会升高。这些基因包括 BRCA1 和 BRCA2。

如果您担心自己患卵巢癌的风险,请向医务人员咨询筛查选项和降低风险的方法。
