If the tumor markers are elevated, then you must have cancer?

The company's physical examination showed that my tumor markers were elevated. I was really afraid of the tumor. I wanted to know if the tumor markers were cancer.

    Although CA125 is a tumor marker, it cannot be said that its increase necessarily means that it has a tumor. Many non-tumor diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic tuberculosis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, chocolate cysts, chronic hepatitis and other diseases, will also increase CA125, some even higher than the early serum of some tumors Academic level. In general, the increase in CA125 is positively correlated with the severity of these diseases.
