My Mom (64) was diagnosed with cancer stage 4, spots on liver, tumor near pancreas, she had 13 gall stones removed and a kidney stone removed, liver biopsy was inconclusive, CA19-9 at 7 thousand, cat scan shows the spots and tumor but how can they know that it is cancer if biopsy is inconclusive?
To confirm cancer a rebiopsy can be done, and immunohistochemistry test can be done. CT scan of whole abdomen needs to be doneTumour marker test CEA and Ca 19.9 can be repeated. Since CA 19.9 is high it can be due to pancreatic cancer. So I would suggest u do IOC test on the biopsy sample. Regards Chat Doctor.
