Abstract

Background: Reliable biomarkers in patients (pts) with pancreatic cancer (PC) are highly warranted. The aim of this prospective-retrospective biomarker study was to investigate the clinical value of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in pts with PC.Methods: A total of 377 consecutive pts with histologically confirmed PC and 94 healthy controls were included. Total cfDNA levels were determined by a direct fluorescent assay in EDTA plasma samples obtained before operation (stage I and II) or start of palliative chemotherapy (stage III and IV). Serum CA19-9 (IMMULITE 2000, Siemens), hyaluronic acid (HA) (ELISA, R\amp;D), interleukin-6 (IL-6) (ELISA, R\amp;D) and YKL-40 (ELISA, Quidel) were measured. The main outcome was association of cfDNA with overall survival (OS) for pts with PC. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95\% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by Cox proportional hazards regression.
