- CA 19-9 decrease after two rounds of chemo: Is this good news?
It is good news, because 1) there are a log of cases where CA19-9 actually goes up for a while after initiating chemo; and 2) That's a 16% decrease after "only" two treatments -- pretty good sign of a positive response
- Understanding your blood test results; when you have cancer
Tests can measure Cancer Antigen 125, a protein that triggers the immune system, when present in the blood CA-125 can be found in higher levels in the blood of women with ovarian cancer
- What Are Cancer Antigen Levels and What Do They Mean?
Rising marker levels during or after treatment may indicate that the cancer is not responding or that the disease is progressing This serial measurement of levels is significantly more informative than a single test result, guiding oncologists on whether to continue or change a treatment plan
- Chemotherapy-induced early transient increase and surge of CA 19-9 . . .
CA 19-9 surge was defined as an increase of >20% from baseline followed by a >20% drop in one or more subsequent CA 19-9 levels compared to baseline Out of 106 advanced PDAC patients, 38 were evaluable for CA 19-9 surge
- CA-125 Blood Test: Results, Normal Range What To Expect
CA-125 levels can be normal even if you have cancer (false negative), or they can be elevated when you don’t have cancer (false positive) For this reason, a CA-125 test isn’t an effective screening for ovarian cancer
- Cancer Blood Test Explained | What Your Results Really Mean
