  CA 125 - Cancer information on MedicineNet.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
CA 125 is a protein made by certain cells in the body which include those of the uterine tubes, uterus, cervix, and the lining of the abdominal and chest cavities (peritoneum and pleura).
The two most frequent situations in which CA 125 is used is to monitor patients with a known malignancy or as one of several tests in the workup of a patient suspected of having a tumor.
In the patient who is being evaluated for a pelvic mass, a CA 125 level greater than 65 is associated with malignancy in approximately 90% of cases.

 Ovarian Tumor Markers: Cancer Antigen 125
Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) is an antigenic determinant on a glycoprotein recognized by a monoclonal antibody.
CA 125 estimation is of clinical value in the pre-operative diagnosis and monitoring of ovarian malignancies.
The sensitivity of CA 125 is related to stage (40-95 percent) and histologic type (lower levels in mucinous adenocarcinoma).

 CA-125
When CA 125 is used to monitor disease state in patients with known ovarian cancers (whose tumors do express CA 125), changes in levels of CA 125 do correlate with gross changes in tumor volume.
Before the treatment was started, CA 125 levels showed no prognostic value as to survival but absence of a decrease in CA 125 levels after 2 to 3 months of chemotherapy was unfavourable to survival and required that alteration in treatment scheme be considered.
CA 125 was measured during induction chemotherapy in 119 patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer who had residual disease after primary surgery in order to determine whether patients with poor response to further treatment could be identified during early chemotherapy.

 CA125 blood test for ovarian cancer | EyesOnThePrize.org Support for Gynecologic Cancer
Cancer antigen 125 is a substance that is produced in the fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and the lining the lining of the chest and abdominal cavities (the pleura and the peritoneum).
CA 125 levels are usually measured by a blood test, but can also be detected in fluid from the abdominal and chest cavities.
The CA 125 test may be used diagnostically in combination with other tests such as vaginal ultrasound, and can also be used to monitor the progress of patients with cancer: increasing levels may indicate a recurrence, while decreasing levels may indicate a response to treatment.

 I-125 Standard Operating Procedures   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The major concern with using I-125 is radiation exposure in air over an unshielded vial.
The quarterly ALARA limit of 125 millirem for the whole body (assume 3 feet from the vial) would be reached in 5 minutes.
A small drop of contamination containing I-125 can be easily detected using a survey meter with a Sodium Iodide (NaI) Detector; it is also detectable with an end window Geiger-Mueller (GM) tube, but it is almost undetectable with a side window GM tube.

CA 125: A cancer marker, a protein normally made by certain cells in the body including those of the uterine tubes, uterus, cervix, and the lining of the chest and abdominal cavities (the peritoneum and pleura).
CA 125 is measured in a blood sample or fluid from the chest or abdominal cavity.

After each use of I-125 in the laboratory, the work area must be surveyed with an appropriate survey instrument to detect any areas of contamination.
Lead foil is the best shield for gamma rays from I-125 when used in hundreds of microcuries or in millicurie quantities.
Containers of I-125, including sample vials of iodinated compounds, should always be opened in a fume hood.

 Omega Speedmaster 125 - Proud testimony to 125 years of watchmaking...
The 125 is equipped with a relatively plain Speedmaster case back with the usual "seahorse" emblem.
It is an interesting note that the Speedmaster 125 marks the first, and I believe last use of an applied metal Omega logo on Speedmasters after the switch to the c.861 movement until the 1957 Speedmaster replica was introduced in the late 1990's.
The Speedmaster 125 is unique in that there has never been another watch offered with it's movement, case or bracelet, nor is it likely that one ever will.

 Elevated CA 125 levels: A sign of ovarian cancer? - MayoClinic.com
Tumor markers, such as cancer antigen (CA) 125, are substances that can often be detected in higher than normal amounts in the blood, urine or body tissues of some people with certain types of cancer.
CA 125 readings are primarily used during and after treatment of ovarian cancer.
In women receiving chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, a decreasing CA 125 level often indicates that the cancer is responding to treatment.

CA 125 is a protein that is often secreted into the blood by ovarian cells.
The rate at which CA 125 levels change is often a surrogate (indirect) measurement of the level of cancer growth and inflammation in your body.
Your doctor will be able to decide how useful this information is for monitoring the progress of your disease and how often a CA 125 measurement should be performed to effectively guide your cancer treatment.

While the ACS does not endorse CA-125 as a definitive resource for early detection of ovarian cancer for women at average risk, it does point out that, combined with pelvic exams, it may have a role for women at high risk for the disease.
Today, women at high risk for ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer in Germany are tested for CA 125 every 3 months and the scores are tracked to identify early possibilities of cancer.
If a significant rise in the score occurs, further tests and examinations are ordered and evaluated.
