Pancreatic cancer: approach to diagnosis, selection for surgery and choice of operation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recently, a 23-gene signature was developed to produce a melanoma diagnostic score capable of differentiating malignant and benign melanocytic lesions. The primary objective of this study was to independently assess the ability of the gene signature to differentiate melanoma from benign nevi in clinically re...
