PAC-MANN blood test accurate in ID'ing pancreatic cancer: Study

A new blood test called PAC-MANN can detect the most common type of pancreatic cancer with high accuracy, according to a study led by U.S. researchers. “The PAC-MANN assay is a rapid, high-throughput method that uses small blood volumes with the potential to enhance early [pancreatic cancer] detection,” the team wrote. High-throughput sequencing is used to measure several variables simultaneously, and allows a greater number of samples to be pro…
