| Popis: |
No single reliable biomarker is available for nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs). Vasostatin-1 (VS-1), the N-terminal fragment of chromogranin A (CgA), seems to be a more accurate biomarker compared to its precursor. Primary aim was to investigate the ability of VS-1, compared to total-CgA, to assess the effectiveness of surgical resection performed for NF-PanNETs. Secondary aim was to evaluate two additional CgA-derived fragments, pancreastatin (PST) and vasostatin-2 (VS-2), as possible biomarkers for NF-PanNETs. |
