Mashup Score: 23Pancreatic cancer - 12 day(s) ago
Pancreatic cancer is frequently a lethal disease with an aggressive tumour biology often presenting with non-specific symptoms.

Surveillance is recommended in individuals with familial pancreatic cancer, specific mutations, and high-risk intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, as they are at high risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy combined with surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment. However, only a small subset of patients are candidates for surgery.
