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 ...

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.

Introduction Because the clinical symptoms of gallbladder (GB) cancers are lacking or vague, objective tools for diagnosing GB cancer were necessary. Although serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 were widely utilized for the diagnosis of GB cancer, few studies existed about the diagnostic performance of these ...
