- Abstract
This article discusses a study on the association of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and superoxide dismutase polymorphisms with an increased risk of developing pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The author researchers examined patients with pancreatic cancer for polymorphisms of the MPO. They confirmed the association and also found that oxidative stress may play an important role in pancreatic cancer carcinogenesis.
