lvtexas,

I have not read anywhere that C 19-9 and CEA blood tests don't work on some patients ... why would they not? It sounds like you probably know why? Can you provide citation or link?

CA19-9 also does not work for me. My oncologist even stated that he wasn't looking at it for recurance. I have PDAC and it never was particularly elevated. I would be interested to learn why it's relevant for some people and not others.
