چکیده

The CA 19.9 antigen is a glycoprotein synthesized in several epithelia that is typically high in the serum of patients with pancreatic tumors. Thus, levels above 300 U/l have a positive predictive value of about 90%.1 Other tumors (bile duct, gastric, colon, hepatic, ovarian, endometrial, pulmonary, or urothelial) or different benign processes (hepatitis, cirrhosis, cholangitis, cholecystitis, pancreatic pseudocyst, pancreatitis, pulmonary fibrosis, bronchial asthma, asbestosis, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, renal failure, mucinous cysts, hydronephrosis, Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, erythematous lupus, dermatopolymyositis, or giant cell arteritis2–4) may also run their course with high serum CA 19.9 levels (in the latter case, with more moderate values). Increased serum levels of CA 19.9 in lung tumors, especially in adenocarcinomas, are a known fact, although uncommon.5–7 Therefore, we consider it interesting to discuss 4 cases of pulmonary non-small-cell carcinoma treated in our unit within the last 2 years. The notably high CA 19.9, especially in 2 of the patients,

Persistent Elevation of CA 19-9 Levels in the Long-term Follow-up before Laryngeal Cancer

Introduction CA 19-9 is used as a tumor marker in colon, pancreas, biliary, and gastric cancers. Laryngeal cancer is the most common malignant epithelial tumor among head and neck cancers and has no specific tumor marker. Case report A 66-year-old male patient had severe reflux symptoms during 5 years and had an isolated CA 19-9 elevation. Follow-up analysis revealed that he had larynx cancer...

High Serum Level of CA 19-9 not Always Related to the Pancreas: An Asymptomatic Case of Highly Elevated CA 19-9 Related to Lung Adenocarcinoma

Context CA 19-9 is widely used as tumor marker of pancreatic cancer. Extra-pancreatic tumors with increased serum levels of CA 19-9 are uncommon but should be taken into consideration in some cases. Case report We present an asymptomatic case of highly elevated serum CA 19-9 related to lung adenocarcinoma but not to pancreatic tumors. The serum CA 19-9 level returned to nearly normal after chem...
