(OHSU) has discovered a blood biomarker for likely even early detection of Pancreatic cancer. It may cost as little as $0.29 when added to an annual blood panel. It is being tested in a general human population to confirm its validity. There is also a promising pancreatic preventive and therapeutic vaccine in the works too.
