Abstract |
This study examines the levels of carbohydrate antigen
19-9(CA19-9) and cancer antigen 125(CA125) in serum and
its related factors in healthy Korean population.
Although CA19-9 and CA125 have been widely used tumor
markers for gastroenteric cancers and ovarian cancer in
Western countries, there are no information available
on the serum levels of CA19-9 and CA125 in healthy
population and the factors affecting the levels of
these tumor markers in Korea. A cross-sectional study
was performed to measure CA19-9 and CA125 among 76
healthy males and 95 healthy females in Korea. CA19-9
and CA125 were quantitated using solid-phase
radioimmunoassay kits. Informations on the factors
which might be related to the levels of these markers
were collected by questionnaire(e.g., smoking, alcohol
consumption, menstruation, oral pill use, breast-
feeding history, etc.). There was no statistically
significant difference in the mean of CA19-9
concentration between men(l0.4 u/ml) and women(l0.l
u/ml), Whereas the mean of CA125 levels(11.2 u/ml) was
higher in omen than that(2.5 u/ml) in men. Although
there was a statistically significant association
between CA19-9 and average number of cigarette consumed
per day(r=0.59, p=0.026) and total number of cigarettes
consumed in women(r=0.74, p=0.003), the significance
disappeared by multiple regression analysis after
adjusting age and body mass index. Later age of
menopause(p=0.035) and longer duration f breast-
feeding(p=0.050) were significant predictors for CA125
levels in women by multiple regression analysis after
adjusting age and body mass index. In conclusion, CA19-
9 can be used as a stable tumor marker in clinical
practices, however, menstruation and breast-feeding
should be considered when CA125 is used in women. |
