Would amylase and lipase be high or low with pancreatic cancer?

Pancreatic Cancer: They would be high. Cancer implies growth of excess or abnormal tissue. This would lead to more enzymes than less.

Amylase and lipase: Are usually elevated with inflammation such as pancreatitis and could be normal with pancreatic cancer. A tumor marker ca 19-9 is usually elevated with pancreatic tumors. Depending on the location of tumor biliary enzymes could be elevated too.

Can be high or low: The amylase is usually low in patients with pancreatic cancer. However, if the pancreatic duct becomes obstructed and causes pancreatitis, the amylase and lipase can become elevated.
