CA 19-9 and CA 125 Determination by Immunoluminometric Assay [PDF]
We evaluated a new immunoluminometric technique (ILMA) for the measurement of the cancer antigens, CA 19-9 and CA 125 in serum. A satisfactory reproducibility was found, coefficients of variation ranging from 4.2 to 7.3% in within-run and between-run assays. The linearity of tests was maintained over a wide concentration range. Mean analytical recovery

Assessing prognosis in metastatic pancreatic cancer by the serum tumor marker CA 19-9: Pretreatment levels or kinetics during chemotherapy? [PDF]
Background: The carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is currently the most widely used serum tumor marker in pancreatic cancer (PC). CA 19-9 pretreatment levels as well as CA 19-9 kinetics during systemic chemotherapy can provide prognostic information ...
