摘要: Pancreatic cancer (PC) continues to be the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality despite decades attempts eradicate this disease. To day, an effective tool for screening and early diagnosis pancreatic is missing. A number biomarkers was evaluated in diagnostic, therapeutic, prognostic settings cancer. KRAS, which mutated >90% cases, considered a rational target treating Unfortunately, therapy targeting KRAS still lacking. MicroRNAs represent attractive biomarker due their abundance feasibility analysis. Multiple panels microRNAs can differentiate from healthy nonmalignant tissues. Biomarkers, such as hENT1 SPARC, may assist predicting benefit specific therapeutic agents provide patients with “individualized” treatment plan. Furthermore, “liquid biopsies” allow monitoring circulating tumor DNA cells during therapy. However, date, CA 19-9 remains only FDA-approved use clinic.
