This study investigates pancreatic cancer. It looks at the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and CA 19.9 levels before surgery to understand more about the condition.
The study evaluates if these markers can help identify perineural invasion, which is a factor in the disease's progression.
- Who can participate: Eligible participants are those diagnosed with adenocarcinoma who have undergone surgical removal of the tumor. Individuals with other cancer types or incomplete data are not eligible.
- Study details: Participants will have their blood tested to calculate a type of blood test and a blood marker before and after any neoadjuvant therapy to study their potential as markers for perineural invasion.
