Pancreatic cancer‐associated diabetes mellitus (PCDM) is a paraneoplastic phenomenon characterized by worsening hyperglycaemia and weight loss. Galectin‐3 and S100A9, mediators of PCDM, have pro‐inflammatory functions and might thereby induce systemic inflammation and cachexia. We aimed to examine whether PCDM directly mediates cachexia.

胰腺癌相关糖尿病与恶病质之间的关系。


胰腺癌相关糖尿病（PCDM）是一种副肿瘤现象，其特征是高血糖恶化和体重减轻。 Galectin-3 和 S100A9 是 PCDM 的介质，具有促炎功能，因此可能诱发全身炎症和恶病质。我们的目的是检查 PCDM 是否直接介导恶病质。
