The best way to raise awareness about the importance of early detection is to know your risk, communicate with friends and family about signs and symptoms, advocate for yourself, both in the clinic and in your community, and to push for increased federal funding for…

There is so much promise in early detection research, especially with new imaging technologies, biomarker testing methods, and tools like artificial intelligence, that can help doctors learn more about what #pancreaticcancer looks like in the early stages.

Researchers are also…

Clinical trials play an important role in developing groundbreaking new treatments and early detection methods for #pancreaticcancer . 🧪🧫🔬 Researchers are studying imaging tests, biomarker tests, people with possible early signs of pancreatic cancer (like new-onset diabetes),…

Additional pancreatic cancer-specific and multi-cancer blood tests are being tested in clinical trials. 🩸 Tests to detect #pancreaticcancer using saliva and urine are also being developed, although these studies are in the early phases. 🧪 It is doubtful that one marker alone…

Researchers are studying how to use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in tandem with current imaging techniques to improve how we detect #pancreaticcancer . 🦾 Since it can be difficult for radiologists to differentiate non-cancerous lesions or cysts from…

Along with vague symptoms and the pancreas being hard to see and feel, the tests used to screen for #pancreaticcancer do not always detect small lesions, pre-cancers, or early-stage cancers well. Researchers are learning more every day about how pancreatic cancer develops, and…
