Presentation Transcript

  1. First Presentation

  2. Introduction • Given • Pancreatic Cancer • Survival <1% of 5 years • Fourth leading cancer killer • CA19-9 • Specificity 85% • (PUT SENSITIVITY HERE) • 35,240/42,450 die in 2009 • Data to acquire • Best current test • Future methods • Demographics

  3. Introduction • Approach • Compare current methods quantitatively • Selective targeting using demographics (high risk population) • Credible sources/ large sample size • Implementation • Recommend screening test • Highest sensitivity without sacrificing specificity of CA19-9 • Identify populations at high risk

  4. Graph

  5. Graph

  6. EUS • Improved statistics compared to CA19-9 biomarker • Test widely used so results less biased • Low risk factor • Moderate cost • Low invasiveness compared to most surgical procedures

  7. Future Tests • PAM4 Marker • PAM4 antibody detects for MUC1 protein in pancreas • PAM4 Activity shown by imaging • 4 hours after injection • up to 7 days • MUC1 protein specific to cancerous organs • Test in developmental stage

  8. Recommendations • Suggested use of EUS • High risk individuals (60+, family history, diabetes) • Lifestyle (smoking, obesity) • Healthy individuals with unexplained abdominal pain

  9. Recommendations • PAM4 antibody method • Decreased invasiveness • Increased resolution and accuracy of detection
