Serum RBP, prealbumin, and zinc were evaluated in normal subjects and patients with pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis. A significant decrease of RPB was found in pancreatic cancer patients compared with controls. A concomitant reduction of prealbumin and zinc was also observed. Multiple regression analysis suggested that the modification of RBP serum levels might be accounted for mainly by diminished prealbumin levels, while the direct role of zinc is negligible.
