Once your GP puts in a referral for a cancer alert, the NHS should carry out all the ultrasound, CT and MRI scans together with any biopsies and an agreed treatment plan between the oncology doctor (who is part of the MDT with clincal nurses, radiologists, surgeons, etc.) within 62 days for treatment to commence. If it is confirmed (an it is only an 'if' at this stage) that cancer is present otherwise you will be referred back to the gynaecology department and go on a waiting list for further monitoring or surgery to remove the mass. The CA125 biomarker can only be used to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment if it is the cancer that has raised it in the first place where it should reduce back to normal levels once the chemotherapy treatment has started).
