Postoperatively, PDAC patients had statistically significantly lower indicators of systemic inflammation: mean plasma IL-6 concentration was 117.7 ng/L in the PDAC group and 177.33 ng/L in other pancreatic tumours group, p = 0.026, Kruskal-Wallis H test; mean plasma CRP concentration was 147.51 mg/L in the PDAC group and 180.89 mg/L in other pancreatic tumours group, p = 0.025, Kruskal-Wallis H test. Here, IL6 is linked to pancreatic neoplasm.
