Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 elevation without evidence of malignant or pancreatobiliary diseases
Although carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) may be elevated in benign diseases, elevated CA 19-9 may cause a fear of cancer and unnecessary follow-up studies. Research on how to approach systematically in this case is very limited.

Using Tumor Marker Gene Variants to Improve the Diagnostic Accuracy of DUPAN-2 and Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 for Pancreatic Cancer. [PDF]
PURPOSE Circulating carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels reflect FUT3 and FUT2 fucosyltransferase activity. Measuring the related glycan, DUPAN-2, can be useful in individuals unable to synthesize CA19-9.
