Popis: s / Pancreatology 13 (2013) e1–e20 e5 Conclusion: Components of the metabolic syndrome, which are associated with insulin resistance, namely elevated diastolic blood pressure, elevated serum HbA1c and decreased serum HDL were positively associated with large increases in the risk of pancreatic cancer. Factors influencing these parameters should be measured in future aetiological work and may suggest mechanisms for carcinogenesis, but support an aetiological role for insulin resistance in pancreatic cancer. Take-home message: Metabolic factors and serum HDL may be predicitve of the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Abstract previously presented? yes (BSG) Any disclosures? no ()
