The goal is to get the tumor out and improve patients&#8217; chances of survival.<\/li>\n<li>Today, thanks to fine needle biopsies, physicians can get enough of the cancerous material and look at genetic sequences to see if there is a better medication available when current options are exhausted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, for a small number of pancreatic cancer cases, one clue can help doctors find the tumor early, while it&#8217;s still curable. That clue is an unexpected diagnosis of diabetes. In these cases, the pancreatic cancer is actually causing the diabetes, Dr. Wallace says.<\/p>\n<p>And the key feature is that the diabetes <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears where you wouldn&#8217;t expect it\u2014such as in someone who is maintaining or losing weight, someone who gets diabetes at an older age, or someone who uses tobacco.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Wallace and colleagues are focused on early detection. Here is a sampling of their research:<\/p>\n<p>They identified key markers of early cancer in the &#8220;juice&#8221; secreted by the pancreas into the intestine where it can be sampled with standard endoscopy, and potential in a stool (i.e. Cologuard) test. This test was developed by the same team that developed Cologuard, now a widely used method of screening for colon cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Another study demonstrated that screening for early pancreatic cancer is a cost-effective way to prevent pancreatic cancer in high-risk people.<\/p>\n<p>They are developing artificial intelligence tools to classify early pancreatic cancers in cystic lesions.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                                                                        Recent diabetes and weight loss tied to pancreatic cancer risk\n                                                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a92020 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research<br \/>Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Changing the outlook for pancreatic cancer (2020, November 16)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 16 November 2020<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2020-11-outlook-pancreatic-cancer.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
