Abstract
Objective. Саrbohydrаte antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is the frequently used tumor marker in the clinical setting of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study was designed to investigate the correlation between preoperative serum levels of CA 19-9 (pre-CA 19-9) and the clinicopathologic factors of patients with CRC.
Patients and methods. A study was performed on 482 patients with histologically diagnosed colorectal adenocarcinoma between January 2016 and December 2017, based on retrospective collected data. The clinical data such as age, sex, size of tumor, differentiation (G), depth of tumor (T), lymph node metastasis (N), distant metastasis (M), lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, perineural invasion, stage, and preoperative serum levels of CEA (pre-CEA) and pre-CA 19-9 were obtained. These patients were classified into two groups according to pre-CA 19-9 (CA 19-9 high: H37 U/mL; CA 19-9 normal: H37 U/mL).
Results. Eighty five patients among 483 patients (17.6%) with CRC showed a high pre-CA 19-9. The elevationof pre-CA 19-9 was significantly associated with size of tumor > 4.5 cm (р=0.0001), higt CEA > 5ng/ml (р<0.0001), wrong differenciation of tumor (р=0.0003), depth of tumor (р<0.0001), lymph node metastasis (р<0.0001), distant metastasis (р<0.0001), lymphatic invasion (р=0.0013), vascular invasion (р<0.0001), perineural invasion (р<0.0001), stage (р<0.0001). On multivariate analysis, high pre-CA 19-9 was shown to be independently associated with depth of tumor (р=0.05), lymph node metastasis (р=0.0006). Spearman>s correlation coefficient r between REA and CA 19-9 was 0.21 (95% CI 0.13 - 0.30; p<0.0001).
Conclusion. High pre-CA 19-9 in advanced colorectal cancer might provide important information to predict the depth of tumor, lymph node metastasis.
