Correlation of growth differentiation factor 15 level in esophageal cancer with cachectic indicators and postoperative infectious complication
GDF15 is potentially suggestive of general condition deterioration from aging, organ dysfunction, and decreased muscle mass, which may lead to cachexia in patients with EC. Moreover, patients with higher GDF15 are at a risk of postoperative infectious complications.
