Popis: In 59 patients with ductal pancreatic cancer the monoclonal antibody (MAb) BW 494, which detects the CA 494 glycoprotein antigen, was analyzed in comparison with the reference tumor markers CA 19-9 and CEA. Eighty-one patients with non-pancreatic malignancies of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, 95 with chronic pancreatitis, 124 with benign non-pancreatic GI diseases, 30 with diabetes mellitus (type I or type II) and 114 healthy blood donors served as controls. The sensitivity of pancreatic cancer was 90%, 44% and 90% for CA 19-9, CEA and CA 494, respectively. In chronic pancreatitis, as the most important control population for pancreatic cancer, the specificity was 85%, 72% and 94% for CA 19-9, CEA and CA 494, respectively.
