What are the current methods to check for pancreatic cancer

Method 1: the cost of ultrasound is lower than that of CT, it is easy to get, and it can see liver, intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct tumors. Its sensitivity and specificity are more than 90%. The accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis is limited by the operator's technology, the patient's hypertrophic body shape and gastrointestinal gas. Generally, ultrasound can be used as a supplementary examination of CT.

Method 2: magnetic resonance (MRI) is not more useful than CT in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. This method of diagnosis of pancreatic cancer can not show more advantages than CT, but as a special technology in this field, from the perspective of development, it may play a role in the future.

Method 3: retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is especially useful in the determination of bile duct stones, diagnosis of bile duct damage and obtaining tissue biopsy of duodenal and ampullary carcinoma. If compression or blockage is found, small pancreatic head damage can be diagnosed.
