    Abstract:
    This study aimed to explore the significance and prognostic value of serum tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), D-dimer, and tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3/A20) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Our study included 148 patients treated for PDAC at Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from January 2012 to December 2016. Cutoff prognostic values were predicted using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to assess the survival rates of patients. Univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses were used to evaluate the prognostic factors.The recommended cutoff values of neutrophil-lymphocyte rate (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte rate (PLR), CA19-9, and D-dimer were 2.04 (sensitivity, 0.59; specificity, 0.9; area under the ROC curve [AUC], 0.749; P < .001), 52.94 (sensitivity, 0.73; specificity, 0.95; AUC, 0.829; P < .001), 176.66 U/mL (sensitivity, 0.7; specificity, 0.9; AUC, 0.794; P < .001), and 1.18 mg/L (sensitivity, 0.82; specificity, 0.9; AUC, 0.845; P < .001), respectively. Positive TNFAIP3/A20 expression was considered as an inclusion criterion. Serum CA19-9 expression was related with lymph node metastasis (P = .010), tumor-lymph node-metastasis (TNM) stage (P < .001), and survival rate (P < .001). D-dimer was correlated with tumor differentiation grade (P = .014), tumor size (P = .045), TNM stage (P < .001), and survival rate (P < .001). TNFAIP3/A20 was correlated with tumor differentiation grade (P < .001), body mass index (BMI) (P < .001), TNM stage (P = .014), and survival rate (P < .001). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that PDAC patients had significant differences in CA19-9, D-dimer, and TNFAIP3/A20 expressions (P < .05). CA19-9, D-dimer, TNM stage, tumor differentiation grade, and TNFAIP3/A20 were independent prognostic markers for PDAC in univariate and multivariate COX analyses.CA19-9, D-dimer, and TNFAIP3/A20 were found to be independent prognostic markers for PDAC patients.
