Are there any non-malignant conditions that can lead to elevated CA242 levels? 12/05/2022

Some benign conditions like pancreatitis, cirrhosis, or inflammatory bowel disease can increase CA242 levels.

How are CA242 levels typically measured in clinical samples? 04/01/2021

CA242 levels are usually measured using immunoassays, such as ELISA, in serum samples.

What makes CA242 a relevant marker for colorectal cancers? 05/10/2020

CA242 levels are often elevated in colorectal cancer, making it a potential diagnostic and prognostic marker.

Are there other cancers where elevated CA242 levels are observed? 01/17/2020

Apart from colorectal, elevated CA242 can also be seen in pancreatic and stomach cancers.

What are the limitations of using CA242 as a sole diagnostic criterion? 05/22/2019

While CA242 is specific, it is not absolute; hence, it should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools and clinical evaluations.

How is CA242 used as a biomarker in oncology? 10/08/2018

CA242 is used to detect and monitor the progression or recurrence of certain cancers, especially colorectal cancer.

How does CA242 compare to CA19-9 in terms of diagnostic utility? 06/19/2018
