CA-125 is a protein that some endometrial cancers release into the bloodstream. While there isn't a specific "height" for CA-125 levels, doctors look for elevated levels that may indicate cancer spread outside the uterus.

If CA-125 levels are high, doctors will typically monitor these levels over time. The levels should decrease after surgery when cancer is removed or during effective treatment. It's important to note that CA-125 blood tests aren't used to diagnose endometrial cancer initially. Instead, they're used as a monitoring tool during treatment and to check for potential spread of the cancer. Your healthcare provider will interpret what constitutes a "high" level based on your specific situation and other clinical factors.
