Abstract
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-associated death worldwide. It is often diagnosed at a late stage, but even after surgery survival is poor. CA 19-9 is the most used tumor marker for PDAC, and it correlates with survival. PDAC associates with enhanced coagulation activity. The aim of this study was to explore whether a combination of CA 19-9, FVIII, D-dimer and thrombin time (TT) predicts outcome after surgery better than CA 19-9 alone.
