Trailblazing Blood Test: Detecting the Silent, Lethal Shadows of Pancreatic Cancer
PanKind's funding supports vital research for a pioneering early-detection blood test for pancreatic cancer, potentially revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of this highly fatal disease in Australia. Research that could lead to the first early-detection blood test for pancreatic cancer ha

Project to develop a blood-based test to identify patients with early pancreatic cancer receives PanKind funding boost.
The test is based on a critical WEHI discovery of proteins that can identify early pancreatic cancer in patients. Currently, there are no early-detection biomarkers for the disease.
Researchers hope the test could, in the future, be used by general practitioners and oncologists as a tool for early intervention to enable more effective treatment options for patients.
