Potential Biomarkers of Pancreatic Cysts

Pancreatic cancer is a cancer of the pancreas that is difficult to detect early. Pancreatic lesions or cysts develop within the pancreas, and while some cysts are non-inflammatory, others are inflammatory in nature. These cysts range in size from millimeters to several centimeters; some cysts may be small and benign without resulting in any symptom. However, some cysts are cancerous.
