Serum CA 19-9 and CEA Levels as a Prognostic Factor in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
PURPOSE To investigate the use of pretreatment carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as prognostic factors to determine survival in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of the medical records of patients who were diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and received surgery, chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy was performed. Factors...
متن کاملPreoperative serum levels of CA 72-4, CEA, CA 19-9, and alpha-fetoprotein in patients with gastric cancer.
INTRODUCTION The clinical importance of preoperative serum levels of CA 72-4, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA 19-9, and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was prospectively evaluated in 44 patients with gastric cancer. METHOD The serum tumor marker levels were determined by commercial radioimmunoassay kits. Positivity for CA 72-4 (>4 U/mL), CEA (>5 ng/mL), CA 19-9 (>37 U/mL), and AFP (>10 ng/mL) were...
متن کاملCA 19-9 tumor marker: is it reliable? A case report in a patient with pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies affecting mankind. At the time of diagnosis, only 20% of patients are considered eligible for surgery and approximately one half of these patients undergo successful resection. For patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease, the median survival time is less than 1 year.1-4 Thus, it is crucial to diagnose or detect the recurrence...
متن کاملCancer Antigens (CEA and CA 19-9) as Markers of Advanced Stage of Colorectal Carcinoma
INTRODUCTION CEA and CA 19-9 are the most common tumor associated antigens used in the staging of patients with rectal cancer and other parts of the colon. GOAL of this study was to evaluate the value of CEA and CA 19-9 in serum of patients with colon cancer and prove its place in the diagnostic staging. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was retrospective-prospective performed at the Gastroent...
متن کاملThe relationship of serum CEA and CA 19-9 levels to liver metastasis and pancreatic invasion in esophageal cancer
Aim: Previous studies have examined levels of CEA and CA 19-9 in esophageal cancer patients, but have not determined a significant relationship between CEA and CA 19-9 levels and liver metastasis and pancreatic invasion in patients with esophageal cancer. In this study, we compared the serum levels of CEA and CA 19-9 in patients with esophageal cancer with and without liver and pancreatic metas...
