Prognostic relevance of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer.
Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) has been identified as biochemical marker for biliary tract cancer (BTC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate its value as a treatment response marker and its value as a prognostic parameter in patients with unresectable BTC. We analyzed 70 patients with BTC treated with chemotherapy. CA 19-9 levels before and after two treatment courses were anal...
متن کاملRheumatoid factor interference in the determination of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9).
BACKGROUND Investigation of a 61-year-old Caucasian male suffering from fatigue and weight loss led to the finding of a carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) concentration of 80 kU/L using an ADVIA Centaur analyser. Determination of CA 19-9 on Vidas, AxSYM and Architect i2000 systems gave normal results. His rheumatoid factor concentration was very high (900 kIU/L) and assay interference was susp...
متن کاملAssociation between carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and body mass index in colorectal cancer patients
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) have been well recognized as tumor markers for colorectal cancer. Previous studies suggested that obesity is inversely associated with the screening of CEA and CA19-9 levels and may reduce screening sensitivity. This study was conducted to evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) with serum CEA and CA19-9 concentrati...
متن کاملCarbohydrate antigen 19-9 in saliva: possible preoperative marker of malignancy in parotid tumors.
OBJECTIVE Facial nerve preservation and oncological safety are crucial in surgery of parotid tumors. An unexpected histopathologic diagnosis of a malignant parotid tumor, however, may unfavorably require a second, more radical surgery. The aim of this study was to find out whether the assessment of serological tumor markers in parotid saliva might have some diagnostic significance in the preope...
متن کاملAdjusted carbohydrate antigen 19-9. Correlation with histological grade in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
BACKGROUND The serum level of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) depends on the tumor size and differentiation grade. Jaundice can cause an elevation of serum CA 19-9, although the nature of this interaction is not fully understood. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 26 patients with potentially resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Serum CA 19-9 was correlated with the h...
