The authors give the preliminary results about the determination of the tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) in chronic pancreatitis and pancreas exocrine tumors, indicating that although it can make a differential diagnosis between the two diseases, it is of no practical value because of the frequent increase of TPA in several non tumoral processes that may or may not accompany pancreatic tumors.
作者给出了关于慢性胰腺炎和胰腺外分泌肿瘤中组织多肽抗原（TPA）测定的初步结果，表明尽管它能对这两种疾病进行鉴别诊断，但由于在一些可能伴或不伴胰腺肿瘤的非肿瘤性病变中TPA经常升高，所以它没有实际价值。
