Hello,
It there is jaundice and high tumor markers we can take it as positive and start appropriate treatment.
Consult a gastro surgeon and he will direct you accordingly. At first you can opt for steering to bring down the jaundice and definitive surgery later.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
