What Does Increase In CA125 Level Indicate?

My latest CA 125 test went from 8.5 to 17.9 while at the same time my Vitamin B12 test was 1486 my doctor is in MA and I am in NC at the moment. Is this something I should see a local doctor about since I will not be seeing my doctor in MA until October. He has these latest blood work up resurlts. The rest of all my blood work up was fine. Thank You.

CA125 is a broad spactrum tumour marker. It rises in many benign and malignant conditions. And its normal value is less than 35 iu/ml. So no need to worry at present as your value is 17 which is within normal level of 35.
