Posted on Fri, 1 Apr 2016
Question: My CC.91 count is high. Its 54. Normal is below 37 as per Doctor.

Brief Answer:
Tumor markers

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The tumor markers with some value in Pancreatic Cancer are CA 19-9 and CEA.
Many other tumor markers have been studied and researched but none has been found to be of clinical utility.

So, a high CC.91 count does not mean one has pancreatic cancer. If possible kindly upload the results of the CC.91 count as that test is not usually done. If possible kindly, also write the full name of the test instead of the abbreviation to avoid confusion.


Wishing you best of health

Thanks
