mixed opinions by Gps

Hello Minerva

The CA19-9 test is one of many tests which is used to try to ascertain the level of protein in the blood which may be an indication of how cancer has spread. It is usually used with other tests. GPs and other medics may have different views on whether it gives a normal result. I hope your appointment with the consultant is helpful.
