Abstract:
Objective To investigate whether determination of CEA and CA19-9 levels in EUS-FNA pancreatic samples can be useful in detecting pancreatic adenocarcinoma and differentiating pancreatic adenocarcinoma from chronic pancreatitis.Methods Levels of CEA,CA19-9 were examined by chemiluminescence immunoassay analysis in EUS-FNA specimens obtained from 25 patients with chronic pancreatitis and 65 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma,and compared with those of their peripheral serum.Twelve patients with suspected pancreatic adenocarcinoma while with negative EUS-FNA pathological findings were followed up.Results First,the levels of CEA,CA19-9 in EUS-FNA specimens were higher than those in serum obtained from same patient with pancreatic adenoearcinoma(P＜0.01),but there was no difference in these variables of EUS-FNA specimens and serum obtained from patients with chronic pancreatitis.Second,in the EUS-FNA samples,the levels of CEA,CA19-9 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma were higher than those in chronic pancreatitis(P＜0.01).On the contrary,in serum samples,there was no significant difference in CEA level between pancreatic adenocarcinoma and chronic pancreatitis(P=0.079).CA19-9 level in serum of Dancreatic adenocarcinoma was higher than that of chronic pancreatitis(P＜0.01). Finally,during the follow-up,of all the 12 patients with suspected pancreatic adenocarcinoma,10 patients were diagnosed as having pancreatic adenocarcinoma and 2 patients as having chronic pancreatitis.Diagnostic accuracy of serum CEA and CA19-9were 30%and 70%respectively,while sensitivity of CEA and CA10-9 determined by EUS-FNA was both above 90%.Conclusion The method of measuring CEA and CA19-9 levels in samples obtained by EUS-FNAcan be useful in detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and differentiation of malignant pancreatic tissue from chronic pancreatitis.
