CompCyst Tool Developed to Identify Precancerous Cysts
In this study, the researchers evaluated molecular information
from over 800 different pancreatic cysts, along with clinical and imaging data
into an algorithm known as MOCA: Multivariate Organization of Combinatorial

“We think CompCyst has the capacity to substantially reduce unnecessary surgeries for pancreatic cysts. Over the next five years, we hope to use CompCyst in many more patients with cysts in an effort to guide surgical treatment — to determine when surgery is needed and when it is ...

Because of the stigma attached to addiction, most historians and biographers have hidden, ignored, or buried that fact.Similarly, few of us who rely mainly on the history lessons we received in high school are aware of the regular and (by today ’s standards) excessive use o...
