Testing of CA-125 blood levels has been proposed as useful in treating ovarian cancer. While the test can give useful information for women already known to have ovarian cancer, CA-125 testing has not been found useful as a screening method because of the uncertain correlation between CA-125 levels and cancer.

Intrinsic stress can be acutely and chronically experienced by a person. [8] The varying effects of stress on performance or stress hormones are often compared to or known as "inverted-u" [10] which induce areas in learning, memory and plasticity. [8] Chronic stress can affect the brain structure and cognition.
Stress and trauma can affect expression of transcription factors, which in turn alter DNA methylation patterns. For example, transcription factor nerve growth-induced protein A (NGFI-A, also called NAB1) is up-regulated in response to high maternal care in rodents, and down-regulated in response to low maternal care (a form of early life stress).
Frequent stress: the magnitude and frequency of response to stress is what determines the level of allostatic load which affects the body. Failed shut-down: the inability of the body to shut off while stress accelerates and levels in the body exceed normal levels, for example, elevated blood pressure.
Also high cortisol levels can be tied to the deterioration of the hippocampus and decline of memory that many older adults start to experience with age. [55] These mechanisms and processes may therefore contribute to age-related disease, or originate risk for earlier-onset disorders.
The outlook or the way an individual perceives the given situation can affect the manner to which the individual handles stress, whether it be positive or negative. Too much stress can be detrimental to the individual and can cause negative psychological and physical health effects. [91]
