Are elevated serum heparanase-1 levels in patients with pancreatic carcinoma associated with poor survival?
Serum HPR1 activity in pancreatic carcinoma patients was found to be significantly elevated, in particular in those with HPR1-positive tumors. Increased serum HPR1 activity was associated with a shorter survival in patients with pancreatic carcinoma patients.
GGT is associated with oxidative/inflammatory markers and LV diastolic diameter suggesting its potential role in predicting LV dilatation and dysfunction during the early postmyocardial infarction period.
