default
Posted on Fri, 2 Jun 2017
Question: I accidentally closed my query. I wanted to inform the oncologist that I was communicating with that my CA Antigen 19-9 was 16.3 and if that was important because my GI doctor was very suspicious of soft tissue surrounding my celiac artery. My symptoms are loss of weight and loss of appetite. No other symptoms.

Brief Answer:
CA 19.9 is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. Welcome again.

So the CA 19.9 test is normal. However, it may be normal sometimes even if there is any tumor. So the final diagnosis will be by a biopsy only as I said earlier.

Thanks and regards
