Abstract:
The morbidity and mortality of pancreatic cancer has been increasing year by year, however, the treatment progress and prevention effect were minimal.With the development of basic research, especially the advances of gene sequencing technology, it was possible to clarify the etiology and pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer, and achieve the first stage prevention.The discovery of pancreatic cancer exosomes of high sensitivity and specificity made early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer ( the second stage prevention ) no longer a worldwide problem.The build of pancreatic cancer genotyping with clinical applicability made the precision treatment of pancreatic cancer ( the third stage prevention) possible.Thus, the precision medicine which is based on advances of gene sequencing , popularity of the Internet and the big data technology has brought a ray of hope for the prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
