The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7109

Everyone suddenly felt a bit down.

At that moment, the private doctor arrived at Dr. Johnson’s office. He opened the door and asked quickly, “Doctor Johnson, what’s the urgent matter?”

Dr. Johnson nodded seriously and said, “George, one of Mr. Hank’s test results shows a concerning abnormality compared to three months ago.”

“Great!” the private doctor replied, surprised. “Mr. Hank waited all night for an abnormal result!”

Dr. Johnson looked confused. “Wait, why would he want something abnormal? Is he hoping for a health issue?”

The private doctor smiled and explained, “Exactly. Mr. Hank prefers to see some abnormality. When everything seems normal, it makes him more anxious.”

Dr. Johnson adjusted his glasses, feeling awkward. “But surely Dr. Han didn’t expect his CA199 index to be abnormal, right?”

The private doctor’s smile faded, and he looked serious. “What did you say about the CA199 index? Are you joking?”

As Hank’s personal doctor, he understood the importance of various health indicators. CA199 is a carbohydrate antigen, often called a tumor marker. Different tumor markers can indicate different types of cancer in the body.

In most cases, if a person is healthy, all tumor markers should be within the normal range. If they are abnormal, there is a significant chance the patient has cancer.

Of course, abnormal tumor markers do not always mean cancer…

This doesn’t necessarily mean there is cancer, but the chances are very high. The CA199 marker is particularly linked to cancers of the digestive system, like pancreatic and stomach cancer, and it’s very sensitive. When this level is abnormal, it often indicates digestive system cancer.

Dr. Johnson quickly asked, “What is Mr. Hank’s CA199 level this time?”

He paused for a moment before responding, “628…”

“What did you say?!”

The private doctor felt dizzy. The normal limit for CA199 is 37. When the level goes above this number, it indicates a problem, and the higher it goes, the more serious the issue likely is. With Hank’s CA199 level at 628, the doctor feared it pointed to pancreatic cancer based on his experience.
