PRedictiOn Algorithms for the DeTECTion of Early Stage Pancreatic Cancer (PRO-TECT)

January 12, 2024 updated by: Kaiser Permanente
Conduct a prospective study to assess the accuracy of a pancreatic cancer risk prediction model.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The goal of this study is to establish a platform for development and implementation of a data-driven risk model for detection of early stage pancreatic cancer within an integrated health care setting. Patients at increased risk for pancreatic cancer as identified by the risk model will be invited to participate in a prospective study to assess the accuracy of this approach for detection of early stage pancreatic cancer.
