abstract：:Over 80% of adenocarcinomas of the pancreas originate from duct cells, which are the major source of mucins in the pancreas. Pathological conditions produce changes in the composition and structure of the oligosaccharides of colonic and pancreatic mucins, and it has been suggested that mucins may have a role in the de...
