CA19.9 levels were elevated in 43.3% of HCV chronic hepatitis, in 56.3% of HCV cirrhosis, in 45.1% of HBV chronic hepatitis, and in 58% of HBV cirrhosis. Conclusions. CA19.9 commonly increases in the serum of patients with chronic viral hepatitis. Elevation of CA 19.9 is not specific for neoplastic disease and is related to the severity of DISCUSSION. CA 19-9 is widely used as a tumor marker related to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 7% 2, 21.CA 19-9 levels are elevated in more than 80% of patients with advanced PC 12.Nevertheless, for diagnostic purposes, most international guidelines recommend using CA 19-9 A CA 19-9 test measures the amount of a protein called CA 19-9 (cancer antigen 19-9) in a sample of your blood. CA 19-9 is a type of tumor marker. Tumor markers are substances made by cancer cells or by normal cells in response to cancer in your body. Healthy people can have small amounts of CA 19-9 in their blood. A 4.6 magnitude earthquake rattled the Los Angeles area, adding to the woes of residents who dealt with the threat of flooding and landslides from a powerful storm that drenched the area earlier The causes of CA 19-9 elevation were determined in 147 (76.6%) patients, and that was unknown in 45 (23.4%). The estimated causative diseases were hepatic diseases in 63 patients, pulmonary Regional basketball action has officially begun for the AHSAA and two Huntsville City Schools teams advanced on the first day of regional play. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 ( CA19-9 ), also known as sialyl-LewisA, is a tetrasaccharide which is usually attached to O- glycans on the surface of cells. It is known to play a role in cell-to-cell recognition processes. It is also a tumor marker used primarily in the management of pancreatic cancer.
