| Core Tip |
Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer or identification of its precursors can improve prognosis of this disease, although the detection of early-stage pancreatic cancer (PC) or pre-cancerous lesions is still difficult. The current challenge is to find an effective screening system for diagnosis in “high risk” patients (elderly, hereditary syndromes, mutations, etc.). In addition to conventional imaging, endoscopic ultrasonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography play a pivotal role, as well as future application of genetic and biological biomarkers in this setting. |
