The article deals with the results of surgery in relation to determination of the oncomarker CA 19-9 before and after surgery in 112 chronic pancreatitis patients and 12 pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients. Chronic pancreatitis patients with mechanical jaundice have statistically proven decrease of the oncomarker CA 19-9 postoperatively. Measurement of the oncomarker CA 19-9 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients was statistically higher than in chronic pancreatitis patients.
