      Some of the common test done for pancreatic cancer are abdominal ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Many times we will order further evaluation of the pancreatic tumor using Endoscopic Ultrasound with Fine Needle Aspiration.

      Based on this, I am requesting coverage for this test (PancNext), which analyzes 13 genes associated with hereditary pancreatic cancer: APC, ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDKN2A, EPCAM, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PALB2, PMS2, STK11, TP53. Due to the history stated above, there is a reasonable probability of detecting a mutation in my patient.

      Pancreatic cancer, currently ranked as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths, is a lethal disease with an overall 5-year survival rate of about 8% [1]. It is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths by 2030 [2].

      Breast Cancer. There are many laboratory tests developed to detect genetic variations in breast tumor tissue, particularly gene expression tests. These results may be used to predict distant recurrence risk for women with early stage breast cancer. In turn, this may help with the decision of whether to include adjuvant chemotherapy.

      Cancer results when cells that are not normal grow and spread very fast. Normal body cells grow and divide and know to stop growing. Over time, they also die. Unlike these normal cells, cancer cells just continue to grow and divide out of control and don't die. Cancer cells usually group or clump together to form tumors (say: too-mers).

      So lung cancer is not caused by smoking, colon cancer is not caused by a low-roughage diet, breast cancer is not caused by a fatty diet, retinal blastoma is not caused by a rare gene, and pancreatic cancer is not caused by alcohol consumption. Although these are all contributing factors, they are not THE cause.

As of 2015, pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) has an overall 5-year survival rate of 8.5% which is attributed to most cases being diagnosed after the cancer has metastasized.

      PSA is of unknown value as a population screening test. Although there is good evidence that it increases the detection rate of early stage, clinically significant, prostate cancers, there is little evidence to date that such early detection leads to reduced mortality, the "gold standard" for evaluating screening tests.

      When an individual experiences dyspnea of this severity, the physician should test the arterial blood gases to examine the arterial partial pressure of oxygen, pH, and. partial pressure of carbon dioxide. The PO2 and PCO2 help assess the adequacy of ventilation. As ventilation worsens in lung cancer, the PO2 will decrease and. the PCO2 will increase.

      SCREENING FOR PANCREATIC CANCER. There is no reliable screening test for pancreatic cancer. This is especially critical because most patients are asymptomatic until the diagnosis is made and when the diagnosis is made, the disease is at an advanced stage, there is no effective treatment and the prognosis is poor.
