Most people erroneously think pancreatic cancer occurs only in older people and that they cannot alter risk

However, omission does result in reductions in neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor

More than 70 percent with stage I pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and about 30 percent with stage II PDAC upstaged after surgery

Model integrating clinical information and endoscopic ultrasonographic images enhances diagnostic accuracy of novice endoscopists

Signature resulting from combining cell-free-miRNAs, exosomal-miRNAs distinguished patients with PDAC from healthy donors

Grade B or C postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred in significantly fewer patients in the no-drain versus drain groups

Approval allows Onivyde (plus oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin) as first-line therapy
