Pancreatic cancer is a devastating condition that is most often characterized by a poor prognosis. Microarray technologies are promising screening methods for the identification of potential markers for early diagnosis and chemotherapeutic intervention. In this article, we review the current state of pancreatic cancer research as it relates to the measurement of gene transcript levels by DNA microarray analysis.
