Interferon-gamma polymorphisms correlate with duration of survival in pancreatic cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Despite progress in diagnosis and staging, pancreatic cancer still has a poor prognosis and it remains difficult to predict duration of survival in advanced pancreatic cancer. Nutritional decline, or cachexia, is a contributory factor to decreased survival in advanced pancreatic carcinoma, and it has been demonstrated that proinflammatory cytokines give rise to cachexia. Interferon (IFN)-gamma is a...
