Abstract:
Pancreatic cancer is one of common malignant tumors in the digestive system.There is still no effective means for the early diag-nosis of pancreatic cancer.As a mixture of oral gland secretion and oral mucosal transudate,saliva contains abundant biological information including microorganisms,proteins,and nucleic acids,which will change when the disease occurs.So saliva can be used for the early diag-nosis of pancreatic cancer.Through summarizing and analyzing the current studies and advantages of its application for early diagnosis,this article suggests that saliva bioinformatics holds promise for the application in the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
