Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The objective of this study is to validate the diagnostic performance of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based imaging algorithm for the early detection of pancreatic cancer. Using contrast-enhanced and non-contrast CT images from patients with pancreatic cancer and from normal controls, the established AI algorithm will be applied to assess its accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. This study aims to clarify whether the AI system can serve as a reliable screening tool for detecting pancreatic cancer at an early stage, which may ultimately contribute to improved patient prognosis.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Concordance between the presence or absence of pancreatic cancer as determined by the AI-based imaging algorithm and the definitive diagnosis based on the pathological findings.

Key secondary outcomes

Presence or absence of pancreatic cancer as determined by expert radiologists (pancreatic cancer present/pancreatic cancer absent)

Detection of direct findings (tumor mass) by the AI-based imaging algorithm

Detection of direct findings (tumor mass) by expert radiologists

Detection of indirect findings (e.g., main pancreatic duct dilatation, localized pancreatic atrophy) by the AI-based imaging algorithm

Detection of indirect findings (e.g., main pancreatic duct dilatation, localized pancreatic atrophy) by expert radiologists

Presence or absence of pancreatic cancer in past imaging as determined by the AI-based imaging algorithm

Presence or absence of pancreatic cancer in past imaging as determined by the reference standard (consensus of two expert radiologists)

Key inclusion criteria

Pancreatic cancer group: Patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with a primary tumor diameter of <=20 mm between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2024.
Pancreatic cancer is defined as either of the following:
Histological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
Histological diagnosis of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (PanIN-3)/high-grade PanIN.

Subgroup: Tis/<=10 mm pancreatic cancer group
Among the pancreatic cancer group, patients who meet all of the following:
Diagnosed with pancreatic carcinoma in situ/PanIN-3/high-grade PanIN.
Tumor size diagnosed as <=10 mm.

Normal control group: Patients who underwent contrast-enhanced or non-contrast abdominal CT between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2024 for the diagnosis of diseases other than pancreatic cancer, and who had no pancrea
