Systematic review and meta-analysis: diagnostic accuracy of exosomes in pancreatic cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early, non-invasive identification can generally enhance the survival rate for asymptomatic pancreatic cancer (PC). This systematic review and meta-analysis is conducted to evaluate the precision of diagnosing PC using serum and duodenal fluid exosomes.

Methods

Following the guidelines of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses), searches were conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases in April 2024. A study was considered appropriate if it provided diagnostic precision and accuracy for patients with pancreatic cancer. The combined diagnostic impact was assessed by calculating the area beneath the aggregated SROC curve, and the quality of the studies included was evaluated using the QUADAS-2 ch
