What does this test CA 19.9 Test identify?

CA 19.9 Test

The CA 19.9 Test is a blood test that measures the level of a protein called carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) in the blood. This protein is produced by certain types of cancer cells, including pancreatic, colorectal, and ovarian cancer.

Elevated levels of CA 19-9 may indicate the presence of cancer, particularly pancreatic cancer. However, it is important to note that other conditions such as pancreatitis, cirrhosis, and bile duct obstruction can also cause an increase in CA 19-9 levels.

The CA 19.9 Test is used to monitor the response to treatment in patients with cancer and to detect cancer recurrence. It is not used as a screening test for cancer, as elevated CA 19-9 levels can be caused by non-cancerous conditions.

Why is this test CA 19.9 Test taken?

The CA 19-9 test is typically taken to monitor the progression of pancreatic cancer or to check for recurrence after treatment. CA 19-9 is a tumor marker that is often elevated in patients with pancreatic cancer, as well as other types of cancer such as colorectal, stomach, and liver cancer. The test can help doctors track the effectiveness of treatment and determine if the cancer is spreading or coming back.
