Description:
Pancreatic cancer shows few symptoms, a silent killer that led to the deaths of 33,000 Americans last year. Now, scientists are making strides in developing a marker for early detection of the disease. Research with light-scattering techniques has shown changes in the small intestine found in the first stages of pancreatic cancer, which could help diagnose the disease sooner. Speaker(s):
