Evaluation of pancreatic elastase-1 measurement during health checkups for detection of pancreatic cancer in asymptomatic individuals
Incorporating elastase-1 testing alongside abdominal ultrasonography in routine health checkups may improve the detection of pancreatic cancer in asymptomatic individuals. Patients whose pancreatic cancer was identified due to elevated elastase-1 levels had a better prognosis compared to those diagnosed through other methods.
