  • Occasionally, the presence of pancreatic cancer is suggested by elevated liver transaminase, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase levels on testing performed for other purposes. (medscape.com)
  • The objective of the present work was to analyse the VOCs in alveolar air to build a diagnostic tool able to identify the presence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in patients with histologically confirmed disease. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The initial manifestations of pancreatic cancer are often nonspecific, and consequently are often misinterpreted. (medscape.com)
  • In this review article, we summarize current knowledge of the possible skin manifestations of pancreatic disorders. (nih.gov)
  • Metastases, invasion of lymph nodes, and coupling of cancer-associated antigens did not significantly modify marker sensitivity. (unisr.it)
  • 16 ] prepared a "colorimetric sensor array" which by examining the exhaled air of patients affected by lung neoplasm, permits us to distinguish patients from controls with considerable sensitivity and specificity. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Today, the pilot platform includes up to 500 antibodies and well-conceived bioinformatics has been developed for selection of the orthogonal markers generating the optimal signature for maximum specificity and sensitivity for a particular diagnosis. (lu.se)
  • The horizontal blue bars represent specific mutated genes that aid in the progression of the cancer during specific portions of its development. (medscape.com)
  • I+II vs III+IV, P=0.002) were closely associated with the progression of pbt cancers compared with that in ph cancer patients. (researchsquare.com)
  • Notably, expressions of some lncRNAs undergo significant changes in the initiation and progression of cancers. (oncotarget.com)
  • In some cases, painless jaundice may be a symptom of early pancreatic cancer that can be cured with surgery. (medicinenet.com)
  • The data from the current study indicate that a novel monoclonal antibody, HPC2 1-B3, may facilitate the diagnosis of early pancreatic dysplasia. (elsevierpure.com)
  • A CT scan also can detect liver metastases, where pancreatic cancer is likely to spread. (bidmc.org)
  • Both the incidence and the death rates for pancreatic cancer are increasing. (medscape.com)
  • Black Americans have a higher incidence of pancreatic cancer than people of Asian, Hispanic or Caucasian descent. (pancan.org)
  • Ashkenazi Jews also have a higher incidence of pancreatic cancer, possibly because the BRCA2 gene mutation is higher in people in this group. (pancan.org)
  • Previous studies investigate the incidence rate and survival time between ph and pbt ductal cancers [8]. (researchsquare.com)
  • The aim of our study is to analyse the impact of the pandemic on the incidence of cancer diagnosed in primary care. (medrxiv.org)
  • Main outcome measures We obtained the monthly expected incidence of malignant neoplasms using a temporary regression, where the response variable was the incidence of cancer from 2014 to 2018 and the adjustment variables were the trend and seasonality of the time series. (medrxiv.org)
  • Lung and extrathoracic cancer incidence among underground uranium miners exposed to radon progeny in the Pribram region of the Czech Republic: a case-cohort study. (who.int)
  • Thus, the research programme to identify individuals who are at high driving cancer incidence, and also to of GCS complements that of GEP, enough risk that they are likely to benefit facilitate accurate assessment of gene- and also provides a facility for high- from potential screening strategies. (who.int)
  • Streptozocin/5-fluorouracil chemotherapy is associated with durable response in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours. (endocrine-abstracts.org)
  • Excess or lack of malignant neoplasms were defined as the number of observed minus expected cases, globally and stratified by sex, age, type of cancer, and socioeconomic status. (medrxiv.org)
