AI 'PANDAPro' hunts hidden pancreatic cancers in 100,000 CT scans
NCT ID NCT06643715
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an artificial intelligence model called PANDAPro that helps doctors spot pancreatic cancer on regular CT scans. Researchers will compare how well the AI finds cancers versus standard reading, and see if it catches tumors that were missed. The goal is to make screening for this deadly cancer easier and more accurate using scans people already get.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects who have undergone chest and/or abdominal CT scans at outpatient clinics, inpatient departments, or physical examination centers; * Age at the time of the scan between 18-90 years old, with no restriction on gender; Exclusion Criteria: * Chest CT scans that do not cover the pancreas; * Patients who have undergone thoracic/abdominal surgeries affecting or altering the anatomical display of the pancreas (e.g., post-esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, vascular surgeries, or post-ERCP); * Non-standard scans (e.g., hands placed on either side of the body or abdomen, severe respiratory motion artifacts, perfusion contamination, etc.); * Patients referred to a higher-level hospital due to a pancreatic mass found during local hospital examination; * Patients who, for personal reasons, did not follow up with pancreatic cancer diagnosis or treatment at the hospital, or were lost to follow-up midway;
