No: The markers mentioned are not tumor specific. As such they cant be use to diagnose presence of cancer. Rather they serve to monitor the situation. If a histologic diagnosis of pancreatic cancer has been made, progression in elevation of CEA or Ca-19.9 suggest failure to respond. If marker goes down then treatment is working. Liver cirrhosis can cause marked Ca 125 rise without tumor present
