The finding indicates that there is a potentially broad window for diagnosis and prevention of the disease.

This study was undertaken because research relating fat intake to pancreatic cancer was inconclusive.

With further testing of these drugs that are from classes of pharmaceuticals already used in patients, the Mayo research may lead to new treatment opportunities for patients with pancreatic cancer, which is extremely difficult to treat.

In the latest clinical trial for a technique to detect pancreatic cancer, researchers found they could differentiate cells that are cancerous from those that are benign, pre-cancerous, or even early stage indicators called mucinous cystic lesions.

Though the new technique has not yet proven effective in double-blind clinical trials, it may one day help diagnose cancers of the pancreas and, potentially, other organs at their earliest and most treatable stages, before they spread.

The actor's publicist said he is continuing his normal work schedule. According to friends of Swayze's "Ghost" co-stars, Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore, the two actresses were devastated to learn of the diagnosis.
