Exploring Pancreatic Metabolism and Malignancy

Abstract

Pancreatitis is a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed due to dysfunction of the digestive system which causes the release of active enzymes and damage the pancreas. Various methods have been proposed to identify the disease condition and model for the severity of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. All have unique advantages and drawbacks, hence the need to identify novel models for evaluation of pancreatic dysfunctions with high accuracy, sensitivity, and output for the diagnosis of the disease.
