In pancreatic cancer, high calpain-2 expression was significantly associated with improved overall survival (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.036), which remained significant in multivariate Cox-regression analysis (hazard ratio = 0.342; 95% confidence interva l = 0.157-0.741; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.007). In cancers of the bile duct and ampulla, low cytoplasmic expression of calpastatin was significantly associated with poor overall survival (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.012), which remained significant in multivariate Cox-regression analysis (hazard ratio = 0.595; 95% confidence interval = 0.365-0.968; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.037).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The results suggest that calpain-2 and calpastatin expression is important in pancreatic cancers, influencing disease progression.
