Inflammation Marker Related to Obesity Is Elevated in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer

Kudos, fatsos.
Studies have shown that obesity is correlated with inflammation. Similarly, studies have also shown that inflammation contributes to the tumor progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). This study looks at the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a marker of inflammation, in obese patients with pancreatic cancer.
Have another helping.
