Diagnostic value was assessed of serum testosterone concentration and compared with that of serum assay of CEA and CA 19-9 in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cancer (PC) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). Thirty-six patients with PC were compared with thirty-two CP patients. The sensitivity of CA 19-9 (76.9%) in detecting PC was greater than that of testosterone and CEA (30.6% and 30.8%, respectively). The specificity of testosterone and CA 19-9 were comparable (93.7% and 96.4%, respectively). The combination of tests did not enhance the sensitivity and specificity of each test when used alone. The serum CA 19-9 concentration in PC patients was significantly higher then in patients with colon cancer, gastric cancer and benign gastrointestinal diseases.
