What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this prospective multicenter observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of blood-based protein biomarkers for detecting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in adults aged 18 years and older. The study will investigate whether these biomarkers can help distinguish pancreatic cancer from chronic pancreatitis and mucinous pancreatic lesions, including intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs). The main questions it aims to answer are: Can blood-based protein biomarkers accurately identify patients with PDAC and distinguish them from patients with chronic pancreatitis or mucinous pancreatic lesions? Does combining protein biomarkers with CA 19-9 improve diagnostic accuracy compared with using individual biomarkers alone? Are protein biomarker levels associated with tumor stage, tumor size, or the presence of meta
