【摘要】Pancreatic cancer is a serious growing health issue in developed countries.For patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer,the five year survival rate is below 5%.One major important reason leads to the poor survival rate is lack of early detection of pancreatic cancer.Over 80% of the patients are diagnosed in advanced disease stages.Screening for pancreatic cancer is a desirable option for high risk individuals to allow early detection and treatment of curable pancreatic neoplasms at a pre-invasive stage.This article highlights the need,endpoint,population,method,diagnostic yield,and the problems of current screening programs.
