CA19-9 elevation in ovarian mature cystic teratoma: Discrimination from ovarian cancer – CA19-9 level in teratoma [PDF]

open access: yesMedical Science Monitor, 2013
We aimed to identify clinical characteristics of ovarian mature cystic teratoma (MCT) in association with CA19-9 elevation, and to determine if CA19-9 is a useful marker in discrimination of MCT from ovarian cancer (OC).Medical records of 322 women with pathologically-confirmed MCT or OC (stage 1 or 2) were reviewed retrospectively.

Optimal value of CA19-9 determined by KRAS-mutated circulating tumor DNA contributes to the prediction of prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Despite the acceptance of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) as a valuable predictor for the prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), its cutoff value remains controversial.

Proposed carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) cut-off values for the detection of pancreatic cancer in patients with poorly controlled diabetes: a real-world study

open access: yesEndocrine Journal, 2023
CA19-9 is a tumor marker for pancreatic cancer (PC), and the nondiabetic cut-off level is 37 U/mL. CA19-9 levels are said to rise in patients with tumors like PC and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). CA19-9 levels have also been shown to be

Elevated Preoperative Serum CA19-9 Levels in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Is Associated with Poor Prognosis after Resection

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2013
Serum levels of the tumor marker CA19-9 have been reported to be elevated in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its clinicopathologic significance is still unknown.

Preoperative CRP(−)/CEA(−)/CA19-9(−)/non-T4 in Stage III Colorectal Cancer Is Favorable Risk for Recurrence

open access: yesJournal of the Anus, Rectum and Colon, 2022
Objectives: We evaluated the prognostic impact of a novel C-reactive protein (CRP) cut-off value (0.6 mg/dl) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)/carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in stage II/III colorectal cancer.
