Rise on CA 125

Posted by kelan0311 @kelan0311, 5 days ago

3 weeks after my 1st infusion of Doxil my CA numbers went from 1100 to 2400
What would cause this?

This is best addressed by your dr. or another medical professional. I do hope there is a simple explanation. Best wishes.

kelan the doubling of CA125 could suggest recurrence, but chemotherapy can cause CA125 to rise. I think they want three rises within four months. Other inflammatory factors can cause the rise. I'd call the doctor tomorrow in your situation in case they haven't looked at your results. I suspect you will be retested.
Hope it's the chemo.
