[A case of urachal carcinoma associated with elevated levels of CA19-9].

چکیده
A 53-year-old man was admitted with the chief complaint of gross hematuria. Cystoscopic examination revealed a non-papillary tumor at the dome of the bladder. The plasma level of CA19-9 was markedly elevated before treatment. Total cystectomy with en bloc removal of the tumor and radical lymphadenectomy were performed under the diagnosis of urachal carcinoma. The plasma CA19-9 level decreased to the normal level after operation and was well correlated with postoperative course. The monitoring of CA19-9 may be useful for follow up in patients showing a high elevation of CA19-9.

Elevated Preoperative Serum CA19-9 Levels in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Is Associated with Poor Prognosis after Resection
Serum levels of the tumor marker CA19-9 have been reported to be elevated in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its clinicopathologic significance is still unknown. A cohort of 304 patients undergoing surgical resection for HCC and having preoperative CA19-9 data was enrolled in this study. Serum CA19-9 levels were correlated with clinicopathologic factors. Univariate and multiva...

OBJECTIVE To compare sera levels of CEA and CA19-9 and tissular expression of the CA19-9 and to correlate these with morphological features of the colorectal carcinoma. METHODS Forty five patients with colorectal carcinoma underwent surgical treatment following measurement of pre-operative levels of CA19-9 and CEA. Sera levels of CEA = 5.0ng/ml and CA19-9 = 37UI were deemed high values. Evalu...
متن کاملExtreme high levels of CA19-9 associated with adenocarcinoma of the lung.
t he diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma can be difficult. In addition to risks factors, clinical presentation and radiological tests, an elevated level of the tumor marker CA19-9 may help in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Although high levels of CA19-9 may also be found in a variety of other malignant and benign conditions, extreme levels of CA19-9 are not seen in these conditions. In ...
متن کاملPostoperative Carcinoembryonic Antigen as a Complementary Tumor Marker of Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
The role of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in pancreatic cancer remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether CEA is complementary to carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in prognosis prediction after pancreatic cancer curative resection. We retrospectively reviewed records of 144 stage II curatively resected pancreatic cancer patients with preoperative and postopera...
متن کاملReactivity of CA19-9 and CA125 in histological subtypes of epithelial ovarian tumors and ovarian endometriosis.
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. We examined the relationship between the staging and histological subtypes of OE or epithelial ovarian tumors (EOT) and the serum levels of carbohydrate anti...
