Exploring the prognostic significance of vitamin D deficiency in pancreatic cancer: Disease progression and survival outcomes

Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent among patients with pancreatic cancer and appears to be associated with more advanced disease at diagnosis. Although a trend toward poorer survival outcomes was observed, the association between Vitamin D deficiency and OS/PFS did not reach statistical significance. Additional prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings and explore potential benefits of Vitamin D supplementation in pancreatic cancer management.
