    Hi Audrey,

    I can’t access the full article as I don’t have any journal subscriptions. Based on reading the abstract alone, I think the answer to your question is Yes.

    I read the same thing before in a few other studies. PNI seems to be a negative prognostic factor, in and by itself. Those studies didn’t examine pre-op CA19-9.

    hi gavin! i can’t access this journal article (some i can, since i’m affiliated with an academic institution–my institution doesn’t subscribe to this one.) can you tell me if PNI WITHOUT elevated pre-op CA19-9 is prognostically significant? thanks!
