Prognostic role of carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 in metastatic colorectal cancer : a BRAF-mutant subset with high CA 19-9 level and poor outcome [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mutation status of RAS and BRAF, as well as serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), are biomarkers used in clinical management of patients with gastrointestinal cancers.

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 ...

Prognostic significance of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) change during immediate postoperative periods in patients with stage I–III colorectal cancer [PDF]
Purpose Although carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) may exhibit low sensitivity in tumor screening, its prognostic significance has been highlighted. This study assessed the significance of preoperative CA19-9 and early postoperative CA19-9 levels in ...

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.

Gastric Cancer with a Very High Serum CA 19-9 Level
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a sensitive marker for pancreatic and hepatobiliary malignancies. The highest frequency of elevated serum CA 19-9 levels is found among patients with pancreatic cancer. CA 19-9 has recently been demonstrated to be a

Evaluation of imaging techniques and ca 19-9 in differential diagnosis of carcinoma and other focal lesions of pancreas [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are the most important imaging techniques in the diagnostics of pancreatic carcinoma and disease staging; they are also very useful in monitoring and follow-up of treatment efficacy. The problems
