Blood Test Developed to Catch Pancreatic Cancer Early

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death in the USA and has a five-year survival rate of only 6%, which is the lowest rate of all types of cancer and this low survival rate is partially attributed to the difficulty in detecting pancreatic cancer at an early stage.   More...
