Protein Signatures and Tissue Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-guided FNA) fails to diagnose up to 25% of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Proteomics may help to overcome this clinical dilemma. We hypothesized that soluble protein signatures can differentiate PDAC from benign tissues.
