Biosensor works with blood samples to identify pancreatic cancer in early stages

Brazilian researchers have developed an electrochemical sensor that can detect pancreatic cancer in its early stages. The device identifies the biomarker molecule CA19-9, which is associated with the disease, at low concentrations in a patient’s blood. This offers a simpler, more affordable alternative to conventional tests, which are less accessible. A paper describing this work appears in ACS Omega.
