The CA125 level postoperative change rule and its prognostic significance in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between postoperative CA125 level changes and early recurrence after curative resection of resectable PDAC is still unclear.

Methods

The electronic medical records and follow-up data of patients with resectable pancreatic cancer were evaluated. Dynamic CA125 detection was used to identify the rules for postoperative CA125 level change and its prognostic value in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.

Results

The study included a total of 118 patients with resectable pancreatic cancer who underwent curative resection. Early postoperative CA125 levels were significantly higher than those before surgery (P < 0.05). It decreased gradually in the group without early recurrence (P < 0.05) but not in the early recurrence group (P>0.05). There
