[Accuracy of imaging techniques and tumor markers in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer].
The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of: a) three imaging techniques: ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and b) the serum tumor markers CEA, CA 19-9 and CA 125, in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. ⋯ CT scan offers the greatest accuracy in the diagnosis of PC. Among the tumor markers, CA 19-9 offers the best accuracy in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
