New Early Detection Blood Tests: What to Know

现在有两种基于血液的测试，可以在癌症引起之前可能检测到癌症症状或是diagnosedthrough other methods.

One test –Grail的Galleri^TM值测试– can signify the presence of more than 50 types of cancer, includingpancreatic adenocarcinoma和胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤。另一个 -Immunovia, Inc.’s IMMray® PanCan-d test- 是有史以来第一个专门针对的血液检查胰腺癌(pancreatic adenocarcinoma), available to people considered高风险对于由于疾病而引起的家史或者genetic alterations。

目前均未获得FDA或保险范围的测试，两家公司都在经过认证的实验室中进行测试。这两种测试每次测试的费用约为1,000美元，并且可能提供付款计划。The blood tests do not provide a definitive diagnosis and are not a standalone indicator of the presence of cancer.People who are currently participating in a screening or surveillance study are encouraged to speak to their healthcare team and the study staff to determine whether a blood test may be incorporated into their program.

如果您有兴趣参加Galleri或Immray Pancan-D测试，请与您的医疗团队交谈，以确定测试是否适合您并订购测试。PanCAN Patient Services还可以提供有关这些血液检查的信息和资源，以及其他检测和诊断胰腺癌的方法。

2. Immray Pancan-D测试测量九个biomarkersin the blood, includingCA19-9。生物标志物可以表明癌细胞的存在以及免疫系统对肿瘤的反应。患者会发现他们是否具有可能表明胰腺癌的生物标志物签名，是否没有签名，或者他们的结果被视为“边界”。
3. 只有在您的身体产生一些CA19-9时，才能进行测试。If the results show that your body does not produce CA19-9, your blood sample will not be able to be tested, and you will not be charged for the test.

Diagnosing pancreatic cancer in its较早的阶段可以导致更多治疗选择，包括手术和更好的生存。某些风险因素可能crease the likelihood of getting pancreatic cancer, like family history, race (ethnicity), smoking, diabetes, obesity, age and others. Pancreatic cancer may cause only vague unexplained symptoms. Pain (usually in the abdomen or back), weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and/or eyes) with or without itching, loss of appetite, nausea, change in stool, pancreatitis and recent-onset diabetes are symptoms that may indicate pancreatic cancer. If you are experiencing one or more of these symptoms, we urge you to speak to your doctor immediately and reference pancreatic cancer.

Pancan正在努力开发早期发现最近被诊断出患有的个人的策略diabetes。A subset of people diagnosed with diabetes after the age of 50, who experience rapid changes in their blood sugar and weight, may have pancreatic cancer. Participants inPancan的早期检测计划将通过参与机构的电子健康记录来确定。参与者的子集将进行成像测试，并提供血液样本以发现未来的生物标志物。

为了实现我们创造一个胰腺癌患者蓬勃发展的世界的愿景，Pancan正在资助和指导研究导致新的，更好的治疗选择并改善早期发现strategies。The new blood tests commercially available to detect cancer early can be an important step toward this goal.
