Researchers hope to improve survival rates through early detection with a blood test that can detect over 50 types of cancer.

A new blood test that uses artificial intelligence (AI) may offer a faster, more accurate way to determine whether pancreatic cancer treatment is working. Known as ARTEMIS-DELFI, the test detects DNA ...

Scientists from Oregon Health & Science University have developed a blood test called PAC-MANN that is said to be less invasive, cheaper and more robust than traditional screening methods for ...

(CNN) — To spot breast cancer early, there are mammograms. To find colon cancer early, there are colonoscopies. But there is no standard test to detect early cases of pancreatic cancer, before cancer ...

The world’s first early-detection blood test for pancreatic cancer is set to be launched in Australia, and is predicted to lift survival rates for the deadly disease.

A new blood test developed by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) shows promise for the early detection of pancreatic cancer, a disease notorious for its high mortality rates due ...

Pancreatic elastase is the digestive enzyme the pancreas produces to help digest food. Doctors can measure elastase levels by testing a stool sample. Low levels could indicate exocrine pancreatic ...

A new test called PAC-MANN is designed to detect signs of pancreatic cancer in blood. It's still in development, but the hope is that it will help catch the deadly cancer early. When you purchase ...

An experimental blood test detects early-stage pancreatic cancer more effectively than other available tests, reports a new study published in Cancer Letters. The findings pave the way for further ...

Speedier Test: OHSU cancer researchers Jared Fischer, Ph.D., left, and Jose Luis Montoya Mira, Ph.D. ((OHSU/Christine Torres Hicks)) If there’s one kind of cancer that no one wants, it’s cancer of the ...

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) causes clay-colored, greasy stools that smell foul. A stool test to check for low levels of the elastase enzyme can help diagnose the condition. The pancreas ...
