New Test Detects Early Pancreatic Cancer with 85% Accuracy

New Test Detects Early Pancreatic Cancer with 85% Accuracy — and Researchers Say It Costs ‘Less Than a Penny’
The PAC-MANN test was able to differentiate — 98% of the time — between the blood of someone with pancreatic cancer and the blood of someone who doesn’t have the disease. When used alongside the existing CA 19-9 test, it was able to diagnose early-stage pancreatic cancer with 85% accuracy.
Novel Blood Test Enables Early Pancreatic Cancer Detection
A new assay rapidly detected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and differentiated it from noncancer pancreatic diseases by measuring cancer-associated protease activity in a small amount of blood.
New Blood Test Could Detect Pancreatic Cancer Earlier
A new blood-based test could diagnose pancreatic cancer much earlier, improving outcomes for people with the disease.
Blood Test Helps Diagnose Early-Stage Pancreatic Cancer With 85% Accuracy
Paired with an existing test, this could become a life-saving diagnostic tool for people with a notoriously deadly form of cancer.
Most pancreatic cancer isn’t caught until it’s late stage — a new blood test could change that
The American Cancer Society estimates that 67,400 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year and nearly 52,000 will die from the disease.
PAC-MANN diagnoses early-stage pancreatic cancer with 85% accuracy
Scientists at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) have developed a new blood test for pancreatic cancer, one of the most deadly forms of the disease. Tests showed up to 85% accuracy in detection,
A pancreatic cancer blood test called PAC-MANN could spot the disease early
The test relies on a magnetic nanoparticle linked to fluorescent molecules to detect pancreatic cancer proteins.
Scientists make key advances in pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment research
Improving early detection is one of several holy grails in pancreatic cancer research. Many believe biomarkers — biological materials in the body that signify a particular disease — could be the answer.
