Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | pancreatic cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C25 |
| Methods | qPCR, ISH etc. |
| Sample | pancreatic cancer tissues, blood |
| Expression Pattern | down-regulated |
| Function Description | Linc-pint expression is lower in plasma samples from PCa patients than from healthy individuals. Linc-pint levels are lower in PCa tumors than in adjacent tissues, carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater (CAV) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), and suggest that Linc-pint could be used for distinguishing the cause of malignant obstructive jaundice. Low plasma Linc-pint levels correlate with tumor recurrence, while low tumor Linc-pint levels correlate with poor prognosis for PCa patients after pancreatectomy. |
