###Human: Does high CA-125 confirm that I have cancer? ###Assistant: Hi.  Based on your reports, there seem to be ovarian tumors on both sides. The type of tumor, either benign or malignant, can be revealed only after removal. It may be unrelated to your previous tumor. The value of CA-125 though raised does not indicate malignancy. It is marginally elevated and it is highly unlikely that you will have epithelial cancer of the ovaries at this age, for which it is an ideal marker. A Wertheim's hysterectomy is done for cervix cancer and you would not require it. For your age, if possible fertility preserving surgery is ideal. The best line of management would be to get a CT scan or an MRI to clearly define the type of ovarian tumor as there are suspicions of dermoid and chocolate cysts. After that, a fertility preserving surgery in the form of ovarian cystectomy preserving the ovary can be planned at least on one side. It is very likely that your cysts turn out benign. Kindly get evaluated and operated with a surgical oncologist as the management should be proper especially if you require a staging procedure in case the cyst is malignant.
