Case Control Study in Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer: Using multiple-logistic regression

We determined 13 markers of pancreatic cancer which are used presently and tried quantitative combination assay of pancreatic cancer. Case-control study using the logistic regression showed the possibility of pancreatic cancer quantitatively. When the level of CA19-9 is more than Mean + 2S.D. (40 u/ml), the possibility of pancreatic cancer is 15 times higher than when the level is less than Mean + S.D .. In the case that the high-level of CA19-9 and α1-AT which are more than Mean + S.D., the possibility of pancreatic cancer is 30 times higher than the case that the level of CA19-9 and α1-AT are less than Mean + S.D. when both levels of CA19-9 and α1-AT are more than Mean + S.D ..
