CEA (cut-off 5.0 \u03bcg\/l) showed AUC of 0.541, sensitivity 9.0 per cent and specificity 99.2 per cent, whereas CA19-9 (cut-off 37.0 kU\/l) showed AUC of 0.753, sensitivity 56.2 per cent and specificity 94.5 per cent. Sensitivity of CA19-9 was lower in early (T stages 0\u2013II) than advanced (T stages III and IV) cancer (47.0 versus 64.9 per cent), and also lower in N0 stage cancer than lymph node metastasis (50.1
