Prediction of Unresectability and Prognosis in Patients Undergoing Surgery on Suspicion of Pancreatic Cancer Using Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9, Interleukin 6, and YKL-40.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is known to stimulate glucose-dependent insulin production and secretion by pancreatic beta-cells. Preliminary evidence suggests that GLP-1 may also influence endocrine differentiation from pancreatic progenitor cells. Additionally, TGF-beta signaling can also control endocrin...
