Pancreatic cancer in 2015: Precision medicine in pancreatic cancer--fact or fiction?

Thomas Seufferlein et al. Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2016 Feb.

Abstract

Late diagnosis and an inability to personalize treatment are major problems preventing reductions in pancreatic cancer mortality. In 2015, the identification of a highly discriminatory exosomal biomarker, culture systems that recapitulate human disease and new methods of analysing large data sets to identify prognostic markers have improved the future outlook for patients with this cancer.
