Kornek Objective: The role of CA 19-9 in monitoring treatment response in advanced pancreatic cancer remains uncertain. We assessed its value in predicting early failure of first-line chemotherapy...

... is not well established, making it important to define prognostic factors that predict cancer spread. To determine if the pattern of immunohistochemical staining with a monoclonal antibody against CA 19-9 could predict lymph node spread of cancer, 23 patients with gallbladder cancer without serosal invasion...

... for pancreatic cancer (PC). The aims of the present study were: (1) to evaluate serum CA 242 versus CA 19-9 in PC patients, and (2) to assess whether these markers can predict tumour spread or patient survival. We studied 59 healthy controls, 27 PC patients, 12 chronic pancreatitis cases, 107 with extra...

... carcinoma (HCC). Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA 19-9 and tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) were determined in 63 patients with liver cirrhosis and in 25 patients with HCC in liver cirrhosis. All 4 serum markers were found to be increased in a number of liver cirrhosis...

...Johanna Louhimo; Henrik Alfthan; Ulf-Håkan Stenman; Caj Haglund Objective: In pancreatic cancer, the extent of the spread of the disease is considered to be the strongest prognostic factor. In addition, tumor markers, particularly CA 19-9, may also provide prognostic information. In this study, we...
