Medical tests are always going to be messy, because biology is messy. It's ultimately up to the physician to order tests and interpret the results.

I just stumbled across this site, but you can browse by diagnosis for more numbers.

CA-125 test for ovarian cancer is similar. "Best we've got", not "what we'd like to have".
