In this study we evaluated some pathophysiological aspects of pancreatic and liver ribonucleases and alkaline deoxyribonuclease and their clinical usefulness in diagnosing pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic RNase was found to be a sensitive index of pancreatic malignancy; however it was not specific in distinguishing pancreatic malignancy from chronic pancreatitis or other pathologies. Liver RNase and alkaline DNase did not provide better results than pancreatic RNase. These three enzymes were found to be age-dependent and related to each other. Therefore serum nucleases are not useful for clinical purposes since they are influenced, at least in part, by different non-specific factors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
