Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with pancreatic cancer: A pilot study in a North China Population.

abstract：:Hepcidin and ferroportin, which are known as key iron regulators, may be used in future treatments of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Iron is essential for life support; it helps oxygen molecules bind to hemoglobin and acts as an important catalytic enzyme center. However, iron overload is a risk factor for cancer, ...
