group, only 7.5% of the patients who received TP with IAT had persistent pain (Chinnakotla S, et al. Ann Surg 2015). We Japanese pancreatologists strongly recognize that TP with IAT is an excessive surgery for CP, but it is a fact that there are very few CP patients who need TP with IAT, like a patient who underwent this treatment in Osaka University in 2013. Should JPS discuss how to deal with TP with IAT as one of the treatments for CP?

We have previously reported that levels of circulating apolipoprotein (apo) A2 isoforms apoA2-ATQ/AT (C-terminal truncations of the apoA2 homo-dimer) decline significantly in pancreatic cancer and thus might serve as plasma biomarkers for early detection of this pathology. We report here the development of novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for measuring apoA2-ATQ/AT levels and clinical applicability for early detection of pancreatic cancer. Plasma and serum concentrations of apoA2-ATQ/AT were measured in three independent cohorts, which comprised healthy control subjects and patients with pancreatic cancer or gastroenterologic disease (n¼1156; two Japanese cohorts and one American cohort). These cohorts included 151 cases of stage I/II pancreatic cancer. Significant reductions in apoA2-ATQ/AT levels were recognized in patients with pancreatic cancer in comparison with healthy controls in both independent Japanese cohorts (p¼1.34*1018 and 5.09*1039). Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were >0.92 for distinguishing patients with stage I/II pancreatic cancer from healthy controls in the Japanese cohorts. The AUCs of apoA2-ATQ/AT to distinguish patients with pancreatic cancer from healthy controls were higher than those of carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 in both Japanese cohorts. Better discrimination of pancreatic cancer was also observed with apoA2-ATQ/AT than with CA19-9 in the blind test using the pancreatic cancer reference set of the US National Cancer Institute's Early Detection Research Network; combining apoA2-ATQ/AT with CA19-9 led to significantly improved AUC compared to CA19-9 alone. ApoA2-ATQ/AT is a potential biomarker for screening patients for early stages of pancreatic cancer and identifying patients at risk for pancreatic malignancy.

There are compelling epidemiologic and molecular evidences pointing to a key role for the CDKN2A gene in pancreatic cancer etiology. In particular, CDKN2A is one of the most commonly somatically mutated genes in pancreatic cancer, rare germline mutations have been found to be associated with increased risk of developing familial pancreatic cancer and CDKN2A promoter hyper-methylation has been suggested to play a critical role both in pancreatic cancer onset and prognosis. In addition several unrelated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 9p21.3 region, that includes the CDNK2A gene, are associated with the risk of cancer in various organs. This region includes also SNPs associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which has been proposed as a risk factor for pancreatic cancer, suggesting a possible role of the 9p21.3 region as a genetic link between the two diseases. However, association between the common genetic variability in this region and pancreatic cancer risk has never been studied in detail. We sought to fill this gap in a case-control study genotyping 13 SNPs in 2,857 pancreatic ductal
