Exploration of the value of MRCP combined with tumor marker CA19-9 in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer

Abstract

This paper aims to provide an effective, accurate, and specific diagnostic method for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. It discusses the diagnostic value of magnetic res retrograde cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) combined with the detection of tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) for pancreatic cancer. A group of confirmed cases of pancreatic cancer in some hospitals were randomly selected and subjected to an MRCP examination as well as serological CA19-9 detection. In addition, a group of patients whose pancreatic cancer was confirmed by surgery and pathology, and who underwent MRCP without the detection of the tumor marker CA19-9, were also selected for research. The experiment found that the rate of accuracy for the group that underwent MRCP combined with CA19-9 detection showed a higher positive value in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer than in the group that underwent MRCP alone. Therefore, this paper proposes that MRCP combined with CA19-9 detection can be taken as the reliable and effective means for diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
