Description
CA19-9 blood tests, Pancreatic Cancer Tumour Marker,
What are the Pancreatic Tumour Markers?
CA19-9 is a modified Lewis (a) blood group antigen and is a biomarker used mainly to monitor patients with pancreatic cancer. CA19-9 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 a CA19-9 Pancreatic blood test?
A high level of a specific tumour marker can indicate a particular type of cancer. It helps the oncologist decide what treatment or combination will work best for a certain type of cancer. Evaluate how well the treatment worked. Sometimes, tumour markers are used for screening to help detect a certain type of cancer in people at high risk before they have signs or symptoms.

When you collect your sample, try the following tips:
- Drink plenty of water. Being well-hydrated will make it easier to collect your sample.
- Shower before you take your test or run your hands under warm water for a few minutes, as heat improves blood flow.
- Do light exercise (move around, walk, etc.) to get the blood flowing.
- Put your arm/hand below your heart level – let gravity do the work.
- Nails that are too long can make it difficult to collect a sample.
- Do not shake the sample vigorously, but invert the tube gently 10 times. (gently swirl the tube after each drop of blood).
- Do not squeeze the finger (milk).
- Re-warm your hands during collection where needed.
