ABSTRACT: Background & aims
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-axis mediated signaling pathways play an important role in pancreatic cancer development and progression. We examined whether IGF-axis gene variants are associated with clinical outcomes in pancreatic cancer.Methods
We retrospectively genotyped 41 single-nucleotide polymorphisms from 10 IGF-axis genes in 333 patients with localized pancreatic adenocarcinoma and validated the findings in 373 patients with advanced disease. Associations between genotype and overall survival (OS) were evaluated using multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models.Results
