Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Pancreatic cancer has a high degree of malignancy and a poor prognosis, and at present, early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is very difficult. This article reviews the changes in molecular biological characteristics in the development, progression, and metastasis of pancreatic cancer and related mechanisms and determines the potential targets for clinical diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. This article also summarizes the clinical manifestations of pancreatic cancer, high-risk factors, tumor markers, and the role of combined determination and new equipment in early diagnosis, and points out that the application of serological and radiological examinations and identification of new tumor markers are important methods to improve the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in clinical practice.
