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

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 ...

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.

Carbohydrate antigen 19‐9 is extremely elevated in polycystic liver disease [PDF]
AbstractBackground/Aims: Carbohydrate antigen 19‐9 (CA19‐9) is used as a biomarker to differentiate benign from malignant gastrointestinal disorders. We examined the value of CA19‐9 measurement in polycystic livers after observing high CA19‐9 cyst fluid levels in a benign polycystic liver case.Methods: We determined CA19‐9 levels in serum (n=120) and

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Producing Carcinoembryonic Antigen and Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9.
A case of hepatocellular carcinoma producing carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 is reported. The serum level of carcinoembryonic antigen was 26,800 ng/ml and carbohydrate antigen 19-9, 5,500 U/ml on the final day. Immunohistochemical study revealed positive monoclonal antibodies for these two antigens within the cytoplasm of the ...
