ABSTRACT

Objective To study the relationship between CA125 and endometriosis.Methods We tested the level of CA125 in serum and fluid of ovarian cysts of patients with endometriosis and non-endometriosis,respectively.Results The mean CA125 concentration in the fluid of endometrial cysts of the ovary(ECO) was remarkably higher than that of the serum in ECO group(P0.05).Conclusion The level of CA125 has bearing on the occurrence,development and prognosis of endometriosis,CA125 level is positively correlated with the severity of the disease.Therefore,it is valuable to test serum CA125 level for diagnosing endometriosis.
