Research progress on microRNAs as molecular markers in pancreatic cancer: a narrative review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

The incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer (PC) have increased in recent years. The current status of PC diagnosis and treatment remains grim in clinical practice because the commonly used early screening tools are not sufficient. Improving the early detection of PC and strengthening standardized comprehensive treatment remain the focus of PC research. Many studies have shown that micro RNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the occurrence, development, and treatment of PC. It is expected that miRNAs will become new molecular markers of PC.

Methods

We extracted and compiled useful information from the PubMed database that met our criteria for analyzing PC diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
