These may include imaging studies such as CT scans or MRIs, or endoscopic procedures to visualize the digestive tract. A medical professional will be able to recommend the appropriate testing based on the individuals specific circumstances.
• Consider treatment options: If the elevated CA-19-9 levels are due to cancer, treatment options will depend on the type and stage of the cancer. A medical professional will be able to discuss treatment options with the individual, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. In some cases, clinical trials may also be available.
