Masaki Morimoto et al., by analyzing data from 107 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy, found that in terms of overall survival (OS), the prognosis for the high P-CRP group was worse than that for the low P-CRP group (P = 0.012) (7). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is pancreatic neoplasm.
