CA19-9 was significantly more accurate than MIC-1 for distinguishing pancreatic cancer from benign disease (AUC, 0.83 vs 0.74; relative diagnostic odds ratio [rDOR], 2.10 [95% CI, 0.98–4.48]; p = 0.002), THBS2 (AUC, 0.87 vs 0.69; rDOR, 4.53 [2.16–9.39]; p < 0.0001), TIMP-1 (AUC, 0.91 vs 0.70; rDOR, 8.00 [3.81–16.9]; p < 0.0001), OPN (AUC, 0.89 vs 0.74; rDOR, 4.22 [1.13–15.6]; p < 0.0001), ICAM-1 (AUC, 0.91 vs 0.68; rDOR 9.30 [0.87–99.5]; p < 0.0001), and IGFBP2 (AUC, 0.91 vs 0.68; rDOR, 4.48 [0.78–24.3]; p < 0.0001). The gene discussed is IGFBP2; the disease is pancreatic neoplasm.
