Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) have developed a blood test called PAC-MANN, to detect pancreatic ...

A new blood test could help doctors detect pancreatic cancer earlier, potentially improving survival rates for one of the ...

Ultrasound is emerging as an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer. HIFU uses focused heat to target and destroy cancer cells, and there is minimal harm to the body. We report on its potential.

The OHSU researchers call their test “PAC-MANN,” which stands for “protease activity-based assay using a magnetic nanosensor.

Endoscopic ultrasound examination revealed an approximately 4-cm well-defined hypoechoic homogeneous mass in the head of the pancreas (Figures 4, 5); with adjacent 2-cm well-defined hypoechoic ...

Background and Aim: We report our single-centre experience with endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of solid pancreatic lesions with regard to clinical utility ...
