The metabolism of bile acid and amino acids is correlated with the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

CONCLUSION: Bile acids (especially taurocholic acid) performed to be potential biomarkers to diagnose PC. And other amino acid (such as L-glutamine, glutamic acid, L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan, and L-arginine) in the serum samples of PC might provide a sensitive, blood-borne diagnostic signature for the presence of PC or its precursor lesions.
