About the Cancer Screening Female

Cancer screening for women includes the markers CA 125, CA 15-3, CEA and AFP, and a PAP smear for cervical screening. The markers are used on a doctor’s advice, and the PAP smear is a proven screening test for cervical cancer.

Symptoms and situations where this test helps

• Women above 40 wanting preventive screening
• Family history of breast or ovarian cancer
• Persistent bloating, pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding, as advised
• No cervical screening in the last three years

Understanding your results

CA 125 can be raised in fibroids, endometriosis and infection, not only in ovarian cancer. CA 15-3 is mainly used to follow breast cancer. A PAP smear shows cell changes that can be treated early. Normal markers do not rule out disease.

What your doctor may advise next

Your doctor may advise a pelvic ultrasound, mammography, HPV testing or a specialist review.
