Expression of Glucose Transporter-1, Hexokinase-II, Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen and Survival of Patients with Pancreatic Cancer

Abstract

Our results showed that the expression of GLUT-1 had no prognostic value in the examined patients with pancreatic cancer. On the other hand, high levels of HK-II expression and low levels of PCNA expression may allow accurate identification of the patient with longer survival who may benefit from intensive anticancer treatment.
