Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of CA19 9 in early diagnosis and postoperative prognosis of patients with pancreatic carcinoma.Methods CA19 9 level in patients with pancreatic carcinoma of early state was compared with that in chronic pancreatisis,and was determined sequentially in patients with pancreatic carcinoma after tumor resection.Results CA19 9 value in patients with pancreatic carcinoma of early state was(85.3±6.7)U/ml,and in patients with chronic pancreatisis it was(15.7±1.9)U/ml,there was significantly difference between them.The postoperative value of CA19 9 returned to normal in all cases after tumor resection.The elevation of CA19 9 value suggested recurrence or metastasis,and the changes in CT was observed after three months later.Conclusion CA19 9 may be an important mark in diagnosis and postoperative determination of patients with pancreatic carcinoma.
