Decreased total lymphocyte counts in pancreatic cancer: an index of adverse outcome.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) responds well to steroid therapy but frequently relapses after discontinuing the steroid. It is difficult to know which cases are most likely to relapse. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between the rate of decrease in serum IgG4 level after initial steroid ...
