Now, Tony Hu at Arizona State University in Tempe and his colleagues have developed a blood test that could spot pancreatic cancer before it spreads. In a pilot study of 59 people with the disease ...

The pancreas, a gland situated behind the stomach, produces digestive enzymes that break down food and secretes hormones like insulin to regulate blood sugar. The exact cause of pancreatic cancer ...

Decreased blood flow to pancreatic tumors may partially explain resistance of pancreatic cancer to oncologic treatments, and the ratio of metabolism to blood flow might be a prognostic variable. X.

Spinning blood samples in a centrifuge, researchers found they could break open those sacs and readily detect a protein called glypican-1, which is overexpressed in breast and pancreatic cancers ...

They found a special group of "first responder" cells in the pancreas that are crucial for triggering blood sugar response. Their findings were published in the journal Science Advances .

When used alongside the existing CA 19-9 test, it was able to diagnose early-stage pancreatic cancer with 85% accuracy. Stock image of a person getting blood drawn. Getty ...

Pancreatic cancer is an especially tough cancer to beat because it usually isn't detected until late in the disease. But a new blood test that uses two protein markers is showing promise for ...

The pancreas produces insulin, the hormone that helps blood sugar (or glucose) enter cells to be used as energy. People with Type 1 diabetes make little to no insulin.

A new test designed to detect markers in the blood is accurately predicting which patients might be developing pancreatic cancer, meaning they can have potentially life-saving treatment.
