Levels of MMP-generated fragments of type I (C1M), type III (C3M) and type IV (C4M and C4M12a1) collagen from PC patients as divided by tumor stage. Biomarkers of MMP-2/-9/-13 mediated degradation of type I collagen (C1M), MMP-9 mediated type III collagen (C3M) and MMP-9 mediated (C4M) and MMP-12 mediated (C4M12a1) degradation of type IV collagen in serum from the patients (three of the patients had unreported stage) with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) and healthy controls. Stage 1 and 2 were compared to controls by ANOVA on Log transformed data. Significance levels: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.
