Circulating stromal cells in resectable pancreatic cancer correlates to pathological stage and predicts for poor clinical outcomes

Abstract Pancreatic cancer (PC) is notoriously difficult to diagnosis and properly stage resulting in incorrect primary treatment. Diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers are desperately needed to more accurately stage patients and select proper treatments. Recently, a newly discovered circulating stro...
