Prognostic role of serum CA-125 and CA19-9 in lung transplant candidates with interstitial lung disease: a retrospective cohort study
Among waitlisted lung transplant candidates with advanced ILD, elevated serum carbohydrate antigen (CA)-125 and CA19-9 levels are associated with higher mortality risk. Routine assessment of these markers may enhance risk stratification for this patient population.
