I'm very satisfied with this medical clinic. I had my first pregnancy screening here. It was affordable and very professional. The radiologist was welcoming, kind, and made the experience great.
Aizhan Tokmanbetova
Hurt my knee Friday night and got an MRI appointment Sunday evening (booked Sunday afternoon). Waited about 2 minutes and was done in just over 30 minutes. The team was amazing, friendly and efficient.

Dr. Osama's team was gentle and amazing. After a bad experience elsewhere, my pelvic exam here was much more professional. Great report and very precise.

CA-125 Blood Test in Dubai: Ovarian Cancer Marker Screening and Monitoring
Accurate CA-125 testing for ovarian cancer risk assessment, pelvic symptom evaluation, and treatment response monitoring
A CA-125 test in Dubai measures Cancer Antigen 125, which is a protein biomarker that is elevated in the blood of many women with ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is often called the silent killer because it typically presents with vague, non-specific symptoms that are easily attributed to other conditions, and by the time it is diagnosed, the disease has frequently advanced to later stages where treatment outcomes are less favourable. The CA 125 blood test in Dubai for ovarian cancer screening, when used appropriately in the right clinical context, serves as a valuable tool for risk assessment, diagnostic support, treatment monitoring, and recurrence detection. Understanding both its strengths and limitations is essential for informed healthcare decisions.
At DCDC, we offer CA-125 testing as both a standalone marker and as part of comprehensive panels for women's health evaluation. The test measures the concentration of CA-125 protein in the blood, with levels below 35 units per millilitre generally considered normal. However, CA-125 is not exclusively produced by ovarian cancer cells. It is also found on the surface of normal cells in the fallopian tubes, endometrium, peritoneum, pleura, and pericardium, which means that various benign conditions can also cause elevations. This dual nature makes clinical interpretation essential and is why CA-125 should always be evaluated by a qualified physician within the full clinical context.

Conditions and Cancers Assessed Through CA-125 Testing
Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
The most common type of ovarian cancer, with CA-125 elevated in approximately 80 percent of advanced cases and 50 percent of early-stage disease.
Fallopian Tube Cancer
Primary fallopian tube carcinoma, now recognised as closely related to high-grade serous ovarian cancer, with similar CA-125 elevation patterns.
Primary Peritoneal Cancer
Peritoneal carcinomatosis arising from peritoneal surfaces, sharing histology and CA-125 marker behaviour with epithelial ovarian cancer.
Endometriosis
Chronic pelvic condition frequently causing CA-125 elevation proportional to disease severity, useful for monitoring treatment response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CA-125 Test in Dubai.
CA-125 is a glycoprotein normally expressed on cells lining the ovaries, fallopian tubes, endometrium, and peritoneum. Ovarian cancer cells produce significantly increased quantities, causing blood levels to rise above the normal threshold of 35 U/mL.
Yes, very commonly. In premenopausal women, 90 percent of CA-125 elevations are benign.
No. Major guidelines do not recommend CA-125 for general population screening due to limited sensitivity for early-stage cancer and high false-positive rates in premenopausal women.
During chemotherapy, declining CA-125 correlates with tumour response; normalization below 35 U/mL is associated with improved survival. CA-125 half-life below 14 days predicts better outcomes.
CA-125 is frequently elevated in endometriosis, correlating with disease severity. Mild disease may cause modest increases to 35-50 U/mL; severe disease with endometriomas can exceed 100-200 U/mL.
The CA-125 test at DCDC costs from AED 200. Most insurance covers this test with a physician referral, and we offer direct billing with 20+ insurers.
No fasting is required. If possible, schedule the test outside your menstrual period. Bring your Emirates ID and insurance card; most results are ready within 24 to 48 hours.
