Abstract

Preneoplastic high-risk lesions in the pancreas need to be differentiated from low-risk lesions warranting surveillance and eventually surgical intervention. Imaging is used so far; however, certain imaging features are subject to interpretation and hence have their intrinsic flaws. In a recent article, a liquid biopsy with protein and RNA markers demonstrates differentiation based on a blood test. See related article by Zhang et al., p. 1535.
