[Value of serum CA 19-9 determination in the diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma]. 1990

D P Pei
China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing.

In this communication, serum Ca19-9 was determined in a series of patients with benign and malignant GI diseases. It was found that CA19-9 was positive in 86.7% of 30 pancreatic cancer patients with an average level of 427.53 u/ml, the value was statistically different from that found in non-malignant control group. Serum CA19-9 determination, in this series, helped to make definite diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in 6 cases, in which B-mode ultrasonography failed to diagnose, and in another 3 cases in which CT scanning was unable to 'see' the tumors. The combination of CA19-9, B-mode ultrasonography, and CT made definite diagnosis in 100% of all 30 pancreatic cancer patients. The authors discussed the significance of CA19-9 determination in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
