CA 19-9 (Cancer Antigen 19-9) Report Format — Sample & Free Download
CA 19-9 (Cancer Antigen 19-9) is a protein measured in the blood, used mainly as a tumor marker for pancreatic cancer and, to a lesser extent, bile duct and other gastrointestinal cancers. It's most useful for monitoring known cancer and treatment response rather than as a standalone screening test.

CA 19-9 report format breakdown
| Parameter | Unit | Normal range | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| CA 19-9 | U/mL | 0 - 37 | High levels can indicate pancreatic, bile duct, or gastrointestinal cancer, but CA 19-9 can also rise in benign conditions such as pancreatitis, cholangitis, and obstructive jaundice, so results need clinical and imaging correlation. |
Frequently asked questions
What does a CA 19-9 report format include?
The report lists a single CA 19-9 result with unit, reference range, and status, plus a clinical notes section — as shown in the sample report above.
Do I need to fast before a CA 19-9 test?
No fasting or special preparation is needed for a CA 19-9 test.
Does a high CA 19-9 always mean cancer?
No — CA 19-9 can also rise with pancreatitis, cholangitis, gallstones, and obstructive jaundice, so an elevated result needs to be interpreted alongside imaging and a doctor's evaluation.
How long does a CA 19-9 report take?
Dr.Lably-powered labs typically report CA 19-9 results within about 24 hours of sample collection.
