Plasma insulin-like growth factor I and its binding proteins 1 and 3 in postmenopausal patients with breast cancer receiving long term tamoxifen.

abstract：BACKGROUND:: Although patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) have an increased risk of pancreatic cancer (PanCa), the timely detection of PanCa often is difficult, because the symptoms of CP and PanCa are very similar. Moreover, secondary inflammation may be identified in PanCa, further complicating diagnosis. To impr...
