CA 19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen in pancreatic cancer diagnosis [PDF]
CA 19-9 (Centocor, Malvern, PA) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), two recently developed immunoradiometric assays utilizing monoclonal antibodies, were evaluated in the sera of 139 subjects in order to assay their individual and combined value in pancreatic cancer diagnosis and to assess the influence of jaundice.

Prognostic Value of Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) and Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) in Gallbladder Cancer; 65 IU/mL of CA 19-9 Is the New Cut-Off Value for Prognosis [PDF]
Due to the lack of appropriate tumor markers with optimal cut-off values to predict the prognosis of gallbladder cancer (GBC), this study aimed to demonstrate the relationship between prognosis and the levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), and to determine optimal thresholds.

Elevated Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) in Patients with Echinococcus Infection [PDF]
The carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), a determinant (sialylated lacto-N-fucopentaose 119) of a circulating oligosaccharide antigen, is a frequently used tumor marker. Echinococcus spp. infects humans throughout the world and may be able to synthesize closely related molecules which could interfere with the measurement and interpretation of CA 19-9 ...
