This test helps in determining the levels of the marker and thus intensity of cancer. CA 19.9 test is mostly required for patients having pancreatic cancer.

This blood test is conducted at pathology centers specializing in diagnosis of cancer. These laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art tools and highly calibrated equipment to perform complicated tests like CA 19.9.

Q: What is the normal value of CA 19.9?
A: 37 U/mL.
Q: What do the results mean?
A: CA 19.9 values rising after being decreased mean cancer recurrence while decreasing values mean responsiveness to treatment. Increasing values mean tumor growth/progression while values staying similar mean that the cancer is stable.
