A few articles are out there for UPSC uterine & ovarian @ different stages discussing CA 125 rising in a certain manner for demonstrating recurrence. Any first-hand info you experienced or heard about? |

New study
My gyne-oncologist said that new studies indicate that starting chemo after CA-125 doubles a few times beyond a normal value does not provide a survival benefit. Instead, chemo can be started once recurrence appears on a CT/PET scan.

me too
I've read some studies. I feel it is too new yet. However, I believe this will be a means in the future once all the research is in perhaps. I like the idea of starting before a scan can see it. Thanks for sharing Rewriter.
