Somatostatin receptor expression in Merkel cell carcinoma as target for molecular imaging.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is considered as one of the most aggressive cancers lacking efficient early detection biomarkers. Circulating miRNAs are now being considered to have potency to be used as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in different diseases as well as cancers. In case of cancer,...
