Brief Summary

This study is about pancreatic cancer. If the diagnostic cancer is done at an early stage (\<2cm), the chances of recovery are very good. But the main problem is there is not any detections means for this cancer. Sadly, when there is a cancer diagnostic , it's already too late in the majority of cases, because the cancer is in an advanced case. Today, there is no any effective means of detection... Blood markers can be a simple means of early detection
