Another major limitation of the study is that only PDA and NET are studied for the expression of MUC5AC, and the TMAs used did not include other neoplasms of the pancreas such as pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN), IPMN or cystic neoplasms, acinar cell carcinoma, and pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas. This evidence concerns the gene MUC5AC and Neoplasm of the pancreas.
