MiR-194-5p in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Peritoneal Washings is Associated with Peritoneal Recurrence and Overall Survival in Peritoneal Cytology-Negative Patients

Background Peritoneal dissemination is one of the major recurrence patterns in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and is associated with poor prognosis. Here, we assessed the diagnostic potential of microRNA (miRNA) profiles in peritoneal washings for prediction of peritoneal dissemination in PDAC.
