Core Tip

Core Tip: Considering the limited commercial availability of cell free nucleic acids and secreted proteome-based non-invasive biomarkers it is crucial to summarize them for the proper diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and distinguish it from other benign pancreatic diseases. We also highlighted the clinical use of these non-invasive biomarkers in diagnostics. This review will successfully guide readers to address the current issues and aid in the cutting-edge development of biomarkers with higher sensitivity and specificity.
