Integration of multi-omic data for the purposes of biomarker discovery can provide novel and robust panels across multiple biological compartments. Appropriate analytical methods are key to ensuring accurate and meaningful outputs in the multi-omic setting. Here, we extensively profile the proteome and transcriptome of patient pancreatic cyst fluid (PCF) (n = 32) and serum (n = 68), before integrating matched omic and biofluid data, to identify biomarkers of pancreatic cancer risk.

It is often used in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, for cancers of the breast, lung, oesophagus, and rectum. Ionising radiation predominantly exerts its anti-cancer effect through both direct DNA damage and indirectly via water radiolysis and the production of reactive oxygen species.

Enhancing the response to radiation therapy is critical for improving outcomes in this aggressive cancer. Pyrazinib (P3) is a promising compound with radiosensitizing, anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-metabolic properties.
