VANCOUVER—A new test has been discovered to better diagnose a rare disease thanks to a team at St. Paul’s Hospital. The disease, called IgG4-RD, is an autoimmune or allergic disorder that can be misdiagnosed as cancer of the lungs or pancreas.

“It’s gratifying that we worked as a team, solved this problem, and contributed these findings to global knowledge about this disease.”
Dr. Andre Mattman
