星期二, 四月 16, 2024

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- New research in the April 2024 issue of JNCCN—Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network showcases the feasibility of improving early detection and prevention for pancreatic cancer. Global incidences of pancreatic cancer have risen dramatically in recent years, but the overall survival rate is currently only 12%. When pancreatic neoplasms are detected early enough for treatment with surgical resection, the survival rate climbs to better than 80%, but unfortunately the vast majority of patients are diagnosed with advanced-stage disease. The Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection (PRECEDE) Consortium is a global effort to increase screening capacity for this disease. Of 1,759 participants sorted into the highest-risk cohort, nearly 80% completed baseline imaging through PRECEDE.

Key Points: 
  • Global incidences of pancreatic cancer have risen dramatically in recent years, but the overall survival rate is currently only 12%.
  • The Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection (PRECEDE) Consortium is a global effort to increase screening capacity for this disease.
  • "I look forward to further research... to improve access to pancreatic cancer screening for high-risk individuals."
  • "Longer follow-up time is needed to determine if familial pancreatic cancer signifies a higher risk for developing pancreatic cancer compared to pathogenic germline variant (PGV) status in a pancreatic cancer predisposition gene."
