Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effectiveness of various magnifying endoscopy techniques in identifying and outlining residual or recurrent gastric neoplasms following endoscopic treatment.
- 15 patients underwent multiple magnifying endoscopic procedures, revealing more lesions than traditional methods and ensuring all were successfully resected.
- Results indicated that magnifying endoscopy can accurately detect and delineate gastric neoplasms, aiding in better treatment outcomes.
Background And Aims: Serum biomarkers for the early detection of pancreatic cancer are not currently available. We evaluated the usefulness of a novel serum marker, REG4, in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, as compared to carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9.
Methods: We collected pretherapeutic sera from 92 patients with pancreatic cancer, as well as sera from 28 patients with other pancreatic tumors, 11 patients with pancreatitis, and 69 healthy controls.
