A member asked:
How do you test for autoimmune pancreatitis as opposed to pancreatic cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Criteria: For autoimmune pancreatitis, the duct must be narrowed on imaging and there must be autoantibodies or a histopathologic / biopsy diagnosis. Diagnosing cancer is usually done by getting tissue for the pathologist by whatever means.
