Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is difficult to find and diagnose, and is known as a refractory cancer with a low survival rate among all cancers, and ranks fourth in the number of deaths from cancer.
However, it is said that if the diagnosis can be made at an early stage of 10 mm or less, the treatment results will be relatively good. Therefore, the “Early Diagnosis Project” is being conducted to detect pancreatic cancer at an early stage and leads to treatment.

People who are diagnosed as having a risk factor for pancreatic cancer by consultation and examination at a nearby medical institution are referred to a hospital, and early diagnosis such as a detailed examination, can be used for treatment.
