Adipophilin expression is an indicator of poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: An immunohistochemical analysis

摘要

Objective: Adipophilin is a lipid droplet-associated protein, and its expression has been correlated with aggressive clinical behavior in some types of carcinomas, though its role in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has not been clarified. This study aimed to evaluate the role of adipophilin in PDAC.
