==Structure==
'''Sialyl Lewis<sup>A</sup>''', also known as ''sialyl Le<sup>A</sup>'' and ''SLe<sup>A</sup>'', is a tetrasaccharide ] that is usually attached to O-] on the surface of cells. It is known to play a vital role in cell-to-cell recognition processes.
CA19-9 is the sialylated form of ]. It is a ] with the sequence Neu5Acα2-3Galβ1-3GlcNAcβ.


==Clinical significance==
Occurrence of the Sialyl Lewis <sup>A</sup> antigen, detected with the ] antibody, is highly correlated advanced epithelial cancers, such as stage III and stage IV colorectal cancers.<ref name="CRcancer">{{cite journal | author = Matsui T, Kojima T, Suzuki H, Hamajima H, Nakazato H, Ito K, Nakao A, Sakamoto J. | title = Sialyl Lewisa Expression as a Predictor of the Prognosis of Colon Carcinoma Patients in a Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial | journal = Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology | volume = 34 | issue = 10 | pages = 588–593 | year = 2004 | month = June | pmid = | doi = 10.1093/jjco/hyh110 | url = http://jjco.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/34/10/588 }}</ref>
===Tumor marker===
Guidelines from the ] discourage the use of CA19-9 as a screening test for cancer, particularly ]. The reason is that the test may be falsely normal (]) in many cases or abnormally elevated in people who have no cancer (]) in others. The main use of CA19-9 is therefore to see whether a pancreatic tumor is secreting it; if that is the case, then the levels should fall when the tumor is treated, and they may rise again if the disease recurs.<ref name=Asco>{{cite journal |vauthors=Locker G, Hamilton S, Harris J, Jessup J, Kemeny N, Macdonald J, Somerfield M, Hayes D, Bast R |title=ASCO 2006 update of recommendations for the use of tumor markers in gastrointestinal cancer |journal=J.

In people with ]es, CA19-9 can be useful in distinguishing between cancer and other diseases of the gland.<ref name=Perkins/><ref name=Goonetilleke/>

In people who lack Lewis antigen<sup>A</sup> (a blood type antigen on ]s), which is about 10% of the white population, CA19-9 is not produced by any cells,<ref name=Goonetilleke>{{cite journal |vauthors=Goonetilleke KS, Siriwardena AK |title=Systematic review of carbohydrate antigen (CA19-9) as a biochemical marker in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer |journal=Eur J Surg Oncol |volume=33 |issue=3 |pages=266–70 |date=April 2007 |pmid=17097848 |doi=10.1016/j.ejso.2006.10.004}}</ref> even in those with large tumors.<ref name=Asco/> This is because of a deficiency of a ] enzyme that is needed to produce Lewis antigen<sup>A</sup>.<ref name=Asco/>
