Abstract Summary

Researchers developed a prognostic model for pancreatic cancer using routine blood markers and clinical data from 500 patients. The model incorporates gender, age, treatment, TNM stage, pathological grade, CEA, CA125, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, achieving a C-index of 0.73. This accessible tool could help clinicians better predict survival outcomes in pancreatic cancer patients using readily available laboratory tests.

Why Brain? 🧠

New prediction model using blood markers and clinical factors accurately forecasts pancreatic cancer survival with 73% accuracy, offering clinicians a simple tool to guide treatment decisions.
