Research on the use of urine biomarkers for early detection of pancreatic cancer
28th November 2022
Professor Tatjana Crnogorac-Jurcevic and her team at Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, are working to identify biological clues or ‘biomarkers’ for early, non-invasive detection of pancreatic cancer in urine samples. In their most recent paper, published in the International Journal of Cancer, the team reported that a urine biomarker panel could detect pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the most common type of pancreatic cancer, up to 2 years before clinical diagnosis.
