If it's a pancreatic endocrine tumor metastasis, try all of the islet cell
hormones plus NSE, Synaptophysin, etc.  If it's an exocrine pancreatic
tumor, I've used pancreatic lipase in the past, but haven't had any luck in
finding a new Ab source in recent years.  Maybe you'll have better luck in
finding an antibody.
