Why this test?
This test measures blood levels of CA 19-9, a protein that may be elevated in certain types of cancer, particularly those affecting the pancreas and liver, as well as the biliary tract, colon, and rectum. Measuring CA 19-9 helps initially identify abnormalities in the function of these organs that may be further investigated under medical guidance, as a definitive diagnosis requires a comprehensive evaluation of additional factors determined by the healthcare professional in charge.
