Patient's question:
Male, 60 years old, physical examination results on April 9th:Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) 6.15 (0-5)
Carbohydrate antigen (CA19-9) 239.18 (0-37)
Prostatic cyst
Prostatic calcification spots
Serum high-density lipoprotein (S-HDL) 1.85
Serum total cholesterol (S-TC) 6.51
What problems might this indicate?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is usually highly sensitive but has poor specificity. CA19-9 is more specific for diagnosing bile duct, pancreatic, and digestive tract tumors! Suggestions: Based on your description, this situation does not rule out a digestive system tumor. It is recommended to undergo an abdominal CT scan. Wishing you good health!
