Since the first description of the assay by our group more than 25 years ago, 1 measurement of serum CA125 has contributed to the care of patients with ovarian cancer in several different ways. The original application of CA125 was in monitoring response of ovarian cancer during chemotherapy and in detecting persistent disease following primary treatment. 2 In patients whose cancers shed sufficient quantities of CA125 to be elevated in peripheral blood, biomarker levels have tracked tumor volume with up to 90% accuracy. 3 After cytoreductive surgery and combination chemotherapy, persistent elevation of CA125 levels has correlated with persistent disease in> 90% of cases. 2, 3 CA125 is not, however, optimally sensitive and up to 50% of patients with normal levels of CA125 following chemotherapy were found to have small volumes of persistent disease at second look operations. 2, 3At the time of diagnosis, elevated CA125 has been combined with ultrasonography4 and other biomarkers5, 6, 7 to identify those patients with pelvic masses who are most likely to have ovarian cancer and who would benefit from referral to a gynecologic oncologist for primary surgery. Perhaps the most promising application of serial CA125 determinations is to identify a small fraction of healthy postmenopausal women who would benefit from transvaginal sonography to detect ovarian cancer at an early stage. 8 Early results from the UKCTOCS trial involving 200,000 women in the United Kingdom suggest that rising CA 125 followed by transvaginal sonography can nearly double the fraction of cancers detected in early stage and require no more than 3 operations for each case of ovarian cancer detected. 8 A SPORE sponsored trial in the United States has confirmed these observations, albeit on a much smaller scale. 9 The UKCTOCS trial is adequately powered to detect a survival advantage and results will be available in the next 2-3 years.
