Table 4 Characteristic features of the study cohort grouped according to the mean expression of CD71 on neutrophils into low (n = 35; < 350) and high (n = 35; ≥ 350). Significant values are in bold.

From: CD71 expressing circulating neutrophils serve as a novel prognostic biomarker for metastatic spread and reduced outcome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients
