A blood-flow glucose consumption mismatch that predicted pancreatic tumor aggressiveness has been identified by researchers from Turku, Finland. These are the results of a study published in Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Based on these findings, they suggested that the relationship between several physiological tumor parameters might provide more important information about a tumor than just looking at any of these parameters alone.
Pancreatic Cancer - All About the Disease, its Diagnosis and Management
Pancreatic cancer often involves its exocrine part. It grows aggressively, and often detected late. Treatment options include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

"Imaging of several of these tumor parameters might be important for the planning and success of oncologic therapies," Komar said. "We believe that a better understanding of these mechanisms may help overcome the general treatment resistance of pancreatic cancer."
Researchers Identify Prion As A Biomarker For Pancreatic Cancer
Mad cow disease is caused by the accumulation of an abnormal protein, the prion, in the brain of an affected patient. Outside of the brain, very little is known about prions.

Nicotine Exposure Elevates The Risk For Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers say exposure to nicotine through cigarettes can significantly elevate the risk of pancreatic cancer to become metastatic.
