Expression and Clinical Significance of IGHD in Pancreatic Cancer

Background ： Pancreatic cancer is the most malignant tumor in the digestive system, with low level of early diagnosis and poor prognosis. There is a lack of high sensitive and specific molecular markers in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Objective： To explore the expression of IGHD in pancreatic cancer and its correlation with clinical parameters, and to explore its prognostic value in patients with pancreatic cancer. Methods： In this study, qRT-PCR was used to detect IGHD expression in peripheral blood. The expression of IGHD in pancreatic cancer and healthy individuals was compared. The PCR results were combined with clinical data of patients. To compare the expression of IGHD in different pancreatic cancer stages and evaluate whether IGHD expression in peripheral blood can be a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, chi-square test was used to analyze the factors influencing the expression level of IGHD. Kaplan-Meier was used to analyze patient prognosis, and further Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing patient prognosis and independent risk factors.
