Identification of Small Proteins and Peptides in the Differentiation of Patients with Intraductal Mucinous Neoplasms of the Pancreas, Chronic Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

There are a limited number of studies investigating the type of serum proteins capable of differentiating intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms from benign or malignant diseases of the pancreas. To select proteins able to differentiate intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms from benign and malignant pancreatic disease using semiquantitative proteomics. Serum samples were obtained from 74 patients (19 with type II intraductal papillary...
