Description
Summary:Identifying a biomarker to pancreatic cyst malignant potential could also aid in the search for a screening test for pancreatic cancer. For high risk patients, the CAPS study utilizes frequent MR and endoscopic ultrasound evaluation to detect precursor lesions or early cancers, but we are in desperate need of a screening test for the general population to look for early cancers or, even better, to find the precancerous lesions. [...]to our knowledge, we have the largest series of urine samples in the world collected from patients undergoing resection for IPMN.
