Multivariate analysis identified that TMEM170B is an independent indicator for overall survival [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.116, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.014–0.995; p = 0.049] and disease-free survival (HR = 0.19, 95% CI = 0.04–0.910; p = 0.038) in patients with PAAD. Here, TMEM170B is linked to pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
