Hello,
Many benign conditions in women of childbearing age can cause the CA-125 level to be elevated, so CA-125 is not a specific test, especially in younger women for ovarian cancer. But since it is steadily rising and you have ovarian cyst also, it needs further evaluation. Get repeat ultrasounds done to check the size of ovarian cyst. If the CA 125 levels increase or the cyst grows or changes in appearance, then surgery to remove the cyst may be recommended.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
