Carbohydrate antigen 19-9-producing splenic cyst: a case report [PDF]
We describe the case of a 40s woman with a carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9-producing splenic cyst. The lesion was detected incidentally at the splenic hilum, and resected after 5 years of follow-up.

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

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 ...

Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) response after induction FOLFIRINOX for locally advanced pancreatic cancer identifies patients who may benefit from surgical exploration: multicentre, observational cohort study. [PDF]
Abstract Background Which patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer may benefit from surgical exploration after induction treatment remains debated. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to identify independent factors for overall survival after surgical exploration for locally ...

Metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma presenting with elevated serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9): a case report. [PDF]
Abstract Background The major sites of distant metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are the lung and bone; metastasis to the liver is rare. Although the postoperative serum thyroglobulin (Tg) level after total thyroidectomy is a good prognostic indicator for PTC when anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) is ...

Diagnostic and Prognostic Performance of MicroRNA-25, Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9, Carcinoembryonic Antigen, and Carbohydrate Antigen 125 in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Background: Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy with high mortality due to the difficulties in early detection. We investigated and compared the diagnostic and prognostic performance of several blood biomarkers, including microRNA-25 (miR-25), carbohydrate

Availability of Serum Levels of Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) as a Surrogate Tumor Marker for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. [PDF]
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a very sensitive and specific marker in patients who have undergone total thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, the presence of a Tg antibody (TgAb) interferes with Tg immunometric assays, making Tg levels unreliable indicators.

This study introduces a fluorescent immunosensor colour panel with antibody-conjugated quantum dots for detecting CA19-9 in human serum. The immunosensors presented decreasing fluorescence with increasing CA19-9 concentrations, with a linear detection range from 0.01 to 501.87 U mL-1 and detection limits of 1.66 × 10⁻⁴, 2.71 × 10⁻⁴, and 5.45 × 10⁻⁴ U ...

Purpose The predictive sensitivity of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in assessing the prognosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains inadequate. Integrating CA19-9 with tumor volume offers a potentially viable strategy for improving prognostic accuracy.
