CA125 Levels in BRCA mutation carriers – a retrospective single center cohort study

Ovarian cancer screening in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers utilizes assessment of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and transvaginal ultrasound (TVU), despite low sensitivity and specificity. We evaluated the association between CA125 levels, BRCA1/2 mutation status and menopausal status to provide more information on clinical conditions that may influence CA125 levels.
