Research overview

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is difficult to diagnose and many efforts have been made to evaluate EVs-derived RNAs as biomarkers to predict PDAC. Conclusion: We've developed a qPCR-based, normalizer-free circulating EVs RNA classifier, which could well distinguish PDAC patients from noncancerous controls.

Key findings

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is difficult to diagnose and many efforts have been made to evaluate EVs-derived RNAs as biomarkers to predict PDAC.

However, lack of robust internal references largely limited their clinical application.

Here we proposed an RNA ratio-based, normalizer-free algorithm to quantitate EVs-derived RNAs in PDAC.

Methods: Differentially expressed RNAs in the training group were identified using "limma" package.
