Study team finds method for early detection of pancreatic cancer
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Mostly because it is discovered much later in life, pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest types of the disease. For screens aimed at early detection, the current markers are too ambiguous and insensitive. Now, a study team has published a novel technique in the journal Angewandte Chemie
