My test had a chart that stated up to 35 was considered normal range, with over 35 to 99 as a high normal range, and 100 and over as a possible malignancy.  



However, there are tests that have a different scoring system, with roughly 25 as a normal leve.

how did you go about selecting a doctor for surgery??

I have read a medical abstract that considered over 300 to be malignant.

It's a good thing that she is getting a CAT scan, because the ca-125 test is not 100% reliable when used as a tumor marker. Make sure she is in the hands of a gyn/onc if she needs to have surgery. They have more experience and knowledge if in fact it is cancer. I will pray for your friend that it is not. Please keep us updated. With love, Deandra
