However, the difficulty in early detection of PC is a lack of specific symptoms and reliable biomarkers. Currently, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a serum biomarker that is widely used in PC detection. However, 10% of patients with PC cannot produce CA 19-9 and serum CA 19-9 is frequently absent in patients with early-stage cancer. Furthermore, CA 19-9 is often found to be elevated in benign conditions or in other cancers, making its utility limited. Therefore, it is important to identify new diagnostic biomarkers to improve PC detection.展开更多
