Early Detection Initiative for Pancreatic Cancer

ENDPAC is a model to risk-stratify patients with new onset diabetes and hyperglycemia for PDAC. Score is calculated using i) age, ii) change, over past year, in body weight and iii) change, over past year, in glucose/HbA1c values obtained from the electronic medical record.

Using computerized tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), if CT scan is contra-indicated, patients with a high ENDPAC score (\>0) are approached for informed consent to participate in the imaging intervention. Imaging (CT scan) is performed at up to two time points, study baseline and approximately 3-9 months following the first imaging study.
