Benign or Cancerous? Gene Test Predicts Cancer Potential in Pancreatic Cysts - 07/20/2011

hopkinsmedicine.org

Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a gene-based test to distinguish harmless from precancerous pancreatic cysts.  The test may eventually help some patients avoid needless surgery to remove the harmless variety. A report on the development is published in the July 20 issue of Science Translational Medicine. The investigators estimate that fluid-filled cysts are identified in more than a million patients each year, most of whom have undergone CT or MRI scans to evaluate non-specific sym
