Pancreatic Cancer Blood Test

Did you know that more than one person a day dies from pancreatic cancer in Oklahoma?

It is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States - so often deadly because it is seldom caught early. Currently, the five-year survival rate for patients with pancreatic cancer is only 4 percent. Experts at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center say that is because it is seldom diagnosed until it is in it's advanced stages. Now researchers at OU hope they may soon change that.

Their work may bring a new blood test for pancreatic cancer in the not too distant future. This is research that brings hope of turning around the deadly statistics surrounding this often silent killer. This same research could lead to ways to identify other cancers at their earliest stages too.
