Pancreatic cancer is often visible in hindsight on earlier scans. Software trained on those pre-diagnostic scans could flag subtle changes while surgery is still possible.
Retrospective studies (Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins FELIX project) show deep learning detects pancreatic cancer on pre-diagnostic CTs 3-36 months before clinical diagnosis with high AUC. Propose training on multi-institution pre-diagnostic scan cohorts and prospective deployment on abdominal CTs of patients over 50 with new-onset diabetes or weight loss.
