Abstract EN
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is the fourth most common cancer causing death in the United States.
Early tumor recurrence is an important contributor to the dismal prognosis.
The availability of an accurate prognostic biomarker for predicting disease recurrence following curative resection will be beneficial for patient care.
Most of the currently studied biomarkers remain in the investigational phase, with CA 19-9 being the only biomarker currently approved by the FDA.
Herein, we review the utility of CA 19-9 and other investigational cellular, gene, and molecular tumor markers for predicting PDA recurrence following curative surgical resection.
