Pancreatic cancer is one of the most malignant and aggressive cancers, with poor survival rates and diagnosis being based on nonspecific tumour biomarkers. Due to this, the publication,“Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy of miRNAs in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer”, by Sun et al. has excellent potential for highlighting potential miRNAs as high-accuracy diagnostic markers in pancreatic cancer [1]. However, we believe that despite the comprehensive study conducted by Sun et al., there are a few improvements that could be made to heighten the clinical utility of the paper further. As it stands, we believe that the study has some issues that prevent such applications of Sun et al.’s study.The authors have stated that there is a need to measure the diagnostic value of miRNA in pancreatic cancer. However, previous studies in the field already exist [2–4]. Despite the previous studies reporting inconclusive results, the authors still need to highlight the differences between this study and previous publications, as well as elaborate more on its benefits over previous such studies, other than merely stating discordant results.
