<p>Preoperative Bilirubin-Adjusted Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 as a Prognostic Factor for Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Patients at a Single Center</p>

Abstract: The aims of our study were to investigate the prognostic impact of the rate of preoperative serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9/bilirubin (CA19-9/BR) on patients with extrahepatic bile duct cancer. Patients and Methods: We collected clinical data from 89 patients who underwent surgery for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC) at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2012 and December 2017. The Kaplan-Meier analysis for univariate analysis and the Cox proportional hazards models for multivariate ana… Show more

“…The pathophysiological explanation for this could be that the biliary tract functions as an excretion pathway for CA19-9 to the liver and, therefore, an obstruction causing hyperbilirubinemia could block the bile flow, resulting in higher serum levels of CA19-9 [ 28 ]. In the light of this hypothesis, studies suggest that adjusting CA19-9 to bilirubin by calculating the CA19-9/bilirubin ratio could have a stronger diagnostic value than CA19-9 alone [ 29 , 30 ].…”
