CA 19.9 can be raised mildly in benign conditions as well other than pancreatic and GI malignancies.  It is not a tumor specific marker. Meet a medical oncologist for physical examination. Imaging if will be advised if necessary to rule out any specific causes after assessing the patient in person.
