| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to establish pancreatic disease screening and grade evaluation system using metabolomics with blood and pancreatic juice. Blood samples were collected by 2 independent groups. In the 1st set (55 patients and 58 controls), Model Y, consisting of histidine and xylitol, possessed higher sensitivity (70.4%) than CA19-9. In the 2nd set (16 patients and 16 controls), model Y with CA19-9 displayed high sensitivity (81.3%) and specificity (93.8%). In particular, it displayed very high sensitivity (100%) for resectable PC.
These quantitative analysis confirmed that metabolomics-based diagnostic methods are useful for detecting pancreatic cancer early.
