We observed that the expression of GRO-α mRNA relative to expression of the 18 seconds internal control rRNA was higher in pancreatic cancer tissues than that in adjacent normal tissues (1.399 ± 0.165 vs. 0.870 ± 0.103; t = 1.75, P = 0.012). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL1 and pancreatic neoplasm.
