BIOMARKER FOR USE IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF INTRADUCTAL PAPILLARY MUCINOUS NEOPLASM OR PANCREATIC CANCER, AND METHOD OF INSPECTING INTRADUCTAL PAPILLARY MUCINOUS NEOPLASM OR PANCREATIC CANCER USING THE BIOMARKER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique that distinguishes between IPMN, a premalignant lesion of pancreatic cancer, and pancreatic cancer by a minimally invasive method, and inspecting whether a subject has these diseases.SOLUTION: In exosome in body fluid, RNA molecules peculiar to intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and RNA molecules peculiar to pancreatic cancer exist, and they are used as a biomarker, so that it becomes possible to distinguish between intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and pancreatic cancer by a minimally invasive method and inspect whether a subject has these diseases.SELECTED DRAWING: None
