This study found that preoperative and postoperative CA-125 levels were significantly higher in patients with stage III-IV endometriosis compared to stages I-II.

This cross-sectional study measured serum CA-125 levels in patients with endometriosis undergoing laparoscopy or laparotomy, comparing preoperative versus postoperative values and assessing correlations with endometriosis stage and dysmenorrhea severity. Preoperative CA-125 was lower in stage I–II (mean 21.53 IU/ml) than stage III–IV (72.52 IU/ml), and postoperative CA-125 also differed by stage (14.82 vs 61.03 IU/ml), with both contrasts statistically significant (p<0.001). The study reported significant correlations between CA-125 and endometriosis stage (r=0.43–0.52) and between dysmenorrhea severity and stage (r=0.318–0.537), but it provides limited methodological detail on sample size and timing of postoperative sampling as stated in the abstract. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it quantifies pre- and postoperative CA-125 levels and their relationship to disease stage and dysmenorrhea severity.
