Background/objectives: To distinguish autoimmune pancreatitis (ALP), especially focal type, from pancreatic cancer, is a greatest challenge for clinician. The aim of the study is to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of combined serum IgG4 and CA19-9 levels to differentiate ALP from pancreatic cancer by HISORt, Asian and international consensus diagnostic criteria. ;Methods: We measured serum IgG4, CEA, and CA19-9 levels in 188 AIP patients, 86 non-AIP chronic pancreatitis patients, and 130 pancreatic cancer patients. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were compared with different diagnostic criteria. We also co...
