SPan-1 and Exocrine Pancreatic Carcinoma. The Clinical Role of a New Tumor Marker

Abstract: The antigenic determinant SPan-1, recognized by monoclonal antibodies, is elevated in sera of patients with exocrine pancreatic cancer. SPan-1 may be considered as an additional useful and reliable serum marker for the detection of this neoplasm, but it does not significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy obtained with CA 19.9.

“…Others found no effect on the diagnostic sensitivity of CA 19-9 in PDAC [33]. Frena [34] found that CA 19-9 levels were increased in jaundiced patients with chronic pancreatitis and other digestive neoplasms relative to non-jaundiced patients in the same groups, but that this relationship did not occur in patients with pancreatic carcinomas. Several other studies have similarly shown a correlation between CA 19-9 and bilirubin in benign diseases but no such relationship in patients with a pancreaticobiliary malignancy [35-37].…”

“…Dismal prognosis of PC yields from asymptomatic early stages, speedy metastatic progression, lack of effective treatment protocols, early loco regional recurrence, and absence of clinically useful biomarker(s) that can detect PC in its precursor form(s) ( Ballehaninna and Chamberlain, 2012 ). Studies have indicated a promising 70% 5-year survival for cases where incidental detections happened for stage I pancreatic tumors that were still confined to pancreas ( Frena, 2001 ; Schneider and Schulze, 2003 ). Therefore, it only seems rational to aggressively screen for early detection of PDAC.…”

“…This tumor marker has already been investigated as a diagnostic and prognostic tool for PDAC. It is little used however, because its sensitivity and specificity are no higher than those of existing tumor markers such as CA19-9 [51,52]. In the study by Tsutsumi et al, a SPAN-1 change pattern was found similar to that of CA19-9.…”
