| Pathobiological Mechanisms | The neutrophils enzyme related lipid carrier protein gelatin, involved in the inflammatory response in the process of tumorigenesis and cell invasion regulation, PDAC expression increased in patients with urine | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Clinical stages: the early diagnosis of potential biomarkers, preliminary research shows that diagnostic value than some traditional markers | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | It can be detected in urine of patients with early PDAC, which has advantages for early screening of patients without icteric symptoms | ||||
