The antibody against CA-195 binds to an epitope that consists of both Lewis A and sialylated Lewis A blood group antigen, whereas CA19-9 has shown specificity for sialylated Lewis A blood group antigen. CA19-9 and CA-195 levels were measured in the sera of 52 normal subjects; 65 benign disease patients; and 74 non-gastrointestinal, 149 colorectal, and 119 upper gastrointestinal cancer patients to correlate their levels with disease status of the patients. Low incidence were found among normal subjects for both markers; however, in the benign disease group a slightly higher incidence of elelvation was seen for CA19-9. Among colorectal cancer patients CA-195 appeared to show higher sensitivity for primary as well as advanced disease. Levels of both markers showed similar incidences of elevation among upper gastrointestinal cancer patients. Based on these results the contribution of Lea specificity of Ca-195 cannot be ruled out, and it may be used alone or in combination with other markers for monitoring of patients with colorectal, pancreatic, gastric gall bladder, bile duct, and liver cancers.
