CA19-9 as a Potential Target for Radiolabeled Antibody-Based Positron Emission Tomography of Pancreas Cancer. [PDF]
Introduction. Sensitive and specific imaging of pancreas cancer are necessary for accurate diagnosis, staging, and treatment. The vast majority of pancreas cancers express the carbohydrate tumor antigen CA19-9. The goal of this study was to determine the

Increased carbohydrate antigen 19‐9 expression in a thymic neuroendocrine tumor
Here, we report a case of carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19‐9‐producing mediastinal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) (atypical carcinoid). A 54‐year‐old woman with no specific relevant medical history was referred to our hospital because of increased CA19‐9 (95.3 U/

Raised CA19-9 in Autoimmune Pancreatitis [PDF]
AbstractAutoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a known autoimmune disorder of the pancreas, with a clinical presentation similar to that of carcinoma of the pancreas. CA19-9 levels can be the distinguishing feature between the two disorders. In rare instances, CA19-9 may be elevated in AIP.

Esophageal cyst producing CA19-9 and CA125 [PDF]
The patient was a 59-year-old woman in whom computed tomography revealed a posterior mediastinal cyst and ovarian cystoma at a medical check-up in March 2007. Blood tests showed high CA19-9 and CA125 levels. She underwent left adnexectomy for ovarian cystoma in July 2008 and histopathological examination led to a diagnosis of dermoid cyst.

Reactivity of CA19-9 and CA125 in Histological Subtypes of Epithelial Ovarian Tumors and Ovarian Endometriosis [PDF]
Previous reports have shown that some ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinomas and ovarian clear cell adenocarcinomas derive from ovarian endometriosis (OE), and that endocervical-like mucinous borderline ovarian tumors are associated with OE.
