Serum insulin‐like growth factor binding protein 2 levels as biomarker for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma‐associated malnutrition and muscle wasting

Abstract

In the current study, there is a significant correlation between serum IGFBP2 levels, malnutrition, and muscle atrophy in PDAC. Our results suggested that serum IGFBP2 level might be a promising biomarker and intervention targets for PDAC-associated severe malnutrition and muscle wasting.
