Objective: To explore novel biomarkers for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), from the perspective of tumor hypoxia.
Methods: We screened 29 differentially expressed and hypoxia-upregulated genes from the Oncomine database. A total of 12 secretory proteins that interact with hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1A) were selected by STRING (protein-protein interaction networks). After excluding enzymes and collagens, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), glycoprotein NBM (GPNMB), transforming growth factor-β-induced (TGFBI), and biglycan (BGN) were detected by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in patients with cancer and healthy control individuals.
Results: The serum level of TGFBI was significantly elevated in patients with PDAC, compared with healthy controls; the assay could discriminate among cases of PDAC in different clinical stages. The amount of TGFBI was significantly decreased after treatment. The combination of TGFBI and cancer antigen (CA) 19-9 was more accurate than TGFBI or CA 19-9 alone as diagnostic markers. Also, TGFBI might be used as a prognostic marker according to the PROGgeneV2 Pan Cancer Prognostics Database.
Conclusions: Serum TGFBI, combined with CA 19-9, offers higher diagnostic value than other methods for patients with PDAC. Also, TGFBI might be used as a prognostic marker.

Background: Pancreatic surgery is still associated with significant morbidity. In a simultaneously increasingly ageing population with elevated morbidity, the risk stratification and indications for surgery are of particular importance.
Objective: Assessment of the impact of multimorbidity of patients on the postoperative outcome after pancreatic surgery.

Biliary-enteric anastomosis is a common surgical procedure for benign and malignant pathologies involving bile ducts, pancreas and duodenum, as well as during liver transplantation. Imaging is key in detecting potential complications. Ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear scintigraphy provide complementary information.

Pancreatic cancer patients urgently need new treatments, and we explored the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with AL2846 and gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer patients. This was a single-arm, single-center, open-label phase I/IIa study (NCT06278493). The dose-escalation phase was designed to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AL2846 combined with gemcitabine.

Background: To explore the complex interactions between the tumor microenvironment (TME) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and the loss of β-cell mass, further elucidating the mechanisms of type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) onset.
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing was employed to analyze the PDAC TME, identifying cell interactions and gene expression changes of endocrine cells. Pathological changes and paraneoplastic islets were assessed in the proximal paratumor (PP) and distal paratumor (DP).
Unlabelled: Neonatal screening has been implemented internationally with different protocols and has become the routine method in the preclinical stage. Late diagnosis is associated with more severe symptoms with decreased survival and higher treatment costs.
Objectives: To estimate the incidence of cystic fibrosis; to evaluate the performance of the screening algorithms Immunoreactive Trypsinogen and Pancreatitis-Associated Protein (IRT/PAP) and the IRTxPAP product; to analyze the cut-off value for IRT, PAP, and IRTxPAP, and to establish a methodology for its ongoing evaluation; finally, to evaluate the quality of IRT and PAP measurements.
