High Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 Levels Indicate Poor Prognosis of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma
Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) occurs in urothelial cells from the kidney and the ureters. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a tumor marker for pancreatic and gastrointestinal cancers, and its high levels are associated with poor prognosis ...

CA 19-9 like epitope(s) on carcinoembryonic antigen molecules.
CA 19-9 epitope(s) on carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was studied by a method designated the hybrid immunoradiometric-assay (hybrid IRMA) using solid phase CEA antibody to capture the CEA molecule and radio-labeled NS 19-9 antibody as a detector. The radioactivities of the hybrid IRMA of respective sera with certain cancers differed from that of normal ...

Serum carcinoembryonic antigen tends to decrease in poorly-differentiated colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 are tumor markers for colorectal cancer (CRC), both having prognostic value.

The Role of CA19-9 in Predicting Tumour Resectability in Carcinoma Head of Pancreas [PDF]
Introduction: Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a tumour associated antigen. Blood levels may be elevated in benign as well as malignant conditions. Its sensitivity (70-90%) and specificity (68-91%) are inadequate for accurate diagnosis.

Predictors of malignancy in pancreatic head mass: a prospective study
INTRODUCTION: The objective of the study was to identify the predictive factors for malignancy in pancreatic head mass as a primary outcome and assess the value of CA 19-9 as a diagnostic tool for malignancy as a secondary outcome.

Prognostic significance of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) change during immediate postoperative periods in patients with stage I–III colorectal cancer [PDF]
Purpose Although carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) may exhibit low sensitivity in tumor screening, its prognostic significance has been highlighted. This study assessed the significance of preoperative CA19-9 and early postoperative CA19-9 levels in ...

Evaluation of imaging techniques and ca 19-9 in differential diagnosis of carcinoma and other focal lesions of pancreas [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are the most important imaging techniques in the diagnostics of pancreatic carcinoma and disease staging; they are also very useful in monitoring and follow-up of treatment efficacy. The problems

Tumor marker response to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection among patients with cancer
Background Inflammatory responses from benign conditions can cause non‐cancer‐related elevations in tumor markers. The severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) induces a distinct viral inflammatory response, resulting in coronavirus disease ...
