CA 19-9

A tumour-associated carbohydrate antigen located on the sialylated Lewis A blood group antigen (individuals who are genotypically Lewis a-b-[Lea-b-] comprise 5% of the population and cannot synthesize the antigen).
Serum levels
> 37 U/mL occur in 72–100% of patients with pancreatic cancer; 97% of those with levels > 1000 U/m; 65% of those with hepatocellular carcinoma; 20+% of those with gastric cancer; 20% of those with colorectal cancer. Because CA19-9 is also elevated in benign conditions (e.g., obstructive jaundice, liver disease, acute and chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, interstitial lung disease, collagen vascular disease, cholecystitis and cirrhosis of the liver), it is not widely used as a cancer marker. At one time it was regarded as useful in differentiating mesothelioma (in which it is negative) from various adenocarcinomas (in which it is positive).
