Pancreatic Cancer Markers Identified, May Predict Survival | Cancer Forums and News

"Scientists have discovered a way to distinguish pancreatic cancer from non-cancerous tissue, new research shows.
The method may also distinguish patients who will survive longer than two years.
The research examined pancreatic cancer cells for tiny molecules called microRNA (miRNA). It shows that relative levels of certain miRNAs can distinguish pancreatic cancer from nearby noncancerous tissue and from inflamed pancreatic tissue. "
