Brief Summary

Pancreatic cancer represents the most lethal of the common malignancies, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. For patients who, when are diagnosed of pancreatic cancer, are eligible for potentially curative resection, the mortality and morbidity rates after surgery can improve significantly, but who accounts for no more than 20% of all pancreatic patients. It is therefore an effective way to improve the treatment efficacy for pancreatic cancer by discovering novel detection methods for pancreatic cancer, especially at early stages. MicroRNAs have been proved in recent years as functional disease markers, and circulating microRNA-25 is reported of high pancreatic cancer specificity and can be used as a novel marker for pancreatic cancer. A detection kit "MicroRNA (microRNA-25) Qualitative Detection Kit (Fluorescent PCR Method)" is produced and proven to be effective in assisting the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer through clinical trials held independently in three state-level hospitals in China. To further validate the efficacy of the kit, the researchers in this study intend to compare the sensibility and specificity of microRNA-25 level detection and other diagnosis methods, including detection of conventional tumor markers (CA19-9, CA125, CA50, CEA) and imaging (CT, MRI, PET/CT), both in separation and combined, in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Fourfold Table Analysis Indexes

    Using the Fourfold Table to analyze the diagnosis value of the tested reagent in comparison with the golden standard (pathological test) from mainly four indexes: Sensitivity, Specificity, Total Coincidence Rate and Youden Index (%). Fourfold Table Tested reagent Golden standard Total Positive (D+) Negative (D-) Positive (T+) a b a+b Negative (T-) c d c+d Total a+c b+d N=a+b+c+d 1. Sensitivity: Se=P(T+\|D+)=a/(a+c) 2. Specificity: Sp=P(T-\|D-)=d/(b+d) 3. Total Coincidence Rate: TC= (a+d)/N 4. Youden Index: YI=Se+Sp-1

    throughout the trial, average one year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Statistical Analysis Indexes

  • Prior to blood sample withdraw, patient not treated with systematic anti-tumor therapy, including long-acting somatostatin analogues, interferons, PRRT (Peptide Receptor- Radionuclide Therapy), mTOR inhibitors and chemotherapy; not treated with radiotherapy or neo-adjuvant therapies.
  • Differences:
  • Experiment Subgroup: Patients diagnosed or highly-suspected of pancreatic cancer, among whom:

  • Control Subgroup: Patients confirmed with gallbladder carcinoma, biliary tract lower segment carcinoma, and gastrointestinal carcinoma by pathological test.

  • Group Two:
  • Patient aged 18 years old and above at the time of signing the ICF, and with an expected survival time of over 12 months.
  • Prior to the first blood sample withdraw after surgery, patient not treated with radiotherapy or adjuvant therapy.
  • Differences:
  • Experiment Subgroup: Patients confirmed of pancreatic cancer and received successful curative operation.
