Aim: To investigate the relationship between autophagy and perineural invasion (PNI), clinical features, and prognosis in patients with pancreatic cancer.
Methods: Clinical and pathological data were retrospectively collected from 109 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent radical resection at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2011 to August 2016. Expression levels of the autophagy-related protein microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3) and PNI marker ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase (UCH) in pancreatic cancer tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.
