PAC-MANN, New Diagnostic Blood Test?

Posted by mikewdby @mikewdby, 5 days ago

I’ve have been reading about a number of new diagnostic blood tests for early detection of cancer, including PAC. Specifically a test called PAC-MANN which has published an 85% accuracy rate when used with the CA-19 blood test.

The researchers created a non-invasive test using blood samples from 350 patients from OHSU’s Brenden-Colson Center for Pancreatic Care.

Has Mayo been participating in these trials? What can anyone share?

If not, how could Mayo patients find out where, and how they could voluntarily participate for these tests. In addition, would the Mayo team refer a patient willing to do so?

Thank you.
