CA125 Test: It is a blood test that checks for the blood protein, CA125. It is recognized as tumor alert as in most cases, women having gynecological cancers such as fallopian tube cancers have increased levels of CA125.

However, it is not necessary that an increased level of CA125 means the woman is having cancer. It is a part of the diagnosis to check the levels.

Surgery:

Surgery includes various types depending upon the type and stage of the tumor as follows:

  • Salpingo–oophorectomy: In this surgery ovaries and fallopian tubes are removed. When both ovaries and fallopian tubes are removed it is known as bilateral salpingo–oophorectomy. If one ovary and fallopian tube are removed it is called unilateral salpingo–oophorectomy.
  • Hysterectomy: In this surgery uterus and sometimes cervix is removed. If only the uterus is removed, it is called a partial hysterectomy. If both uterus and cervix are removed it is called Total Hysterectomy.
  • Lymph node dissection: In this surgery lymph nodes present in the pelvic region might be removed.
  • Omentectomy: In this surgery, the thin tissue that covers the stomach and large intestine is removed.

In some cases, chemotherapy is recommended post-surgery as the follow-up treatment. In chemotherapy, certain medicines are used to kill the cancer cells. These medicines are given orally or via IV in veins.
