CA19-9 is a modified Lewis (a) blood group antigen and a biomarker used mainly to monitor patients with pancreatic cancer. It is normally found in fetal epithelial cells in the stomach, intestine, liver, and pancreas. In adults, it is found in small amounts in the pancreas, liver, gall bladder, lung, and salivary glands.
Why get one?
A high level of a specific tumour marker can indicate a particular type of disease. It helps the oncologist decide what treatment or combination will work best for a certain type and evaluate its effectiveness. Sometimes, tumour markers are used for screening to help detect a certain type in people at high risk before they have signs or symptoms.

What is the Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier
Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Limit of Detection:
Less than or equal to 10 U/mL
Accuracy and Precision:
The relative standard deviation from the target value is ≤ 15%. The within assay CV is ≤ 15%. The between assay CV is ≤ 15%.
Measuring Range:
10~400 U/mL
Validation-Active Information:
Partner Laboratory for Re-processing and Validation
The accuracy of these tests is based on the relative deviation. The relative deviation is the average deviation from the actual result value.
The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same sample is analysed again. The between-assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample is reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
The reference range for females and males is less than 27 U/mL.
