From: Clinical significance of elevated serum soluble CD40 ligand levels as a diagnostic and prognostic tumor marker for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

(All groups)		EGF	VEGF	IL-8	IL-6	IL-10	IL-1RA
Serum sCD40L	(γ _p )	0.590	0.389	0.195	0.203	0.215	0.243
	(p- value)	< 0.001	< 0.001	0.037	0.029	0.021	0.009
(PDAC group)		EGF	VEGF	IL-8	IL-6	IL-10	IL-1RA
Serum sCD40L	(γ _p )	0.397	0.305	0.257	0.209	0.224	0.248

Pro-angiogenic cytokines, EGF, VEGF, and IL-8; immunosuppressive cytokines, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-1RA.
γ_p, Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
p < 0.05 (two-tailed) was considered to be statistically significant.
Statistically significant values are given in bold type.
