Radiomics in Pancreatic Cancer: Present and Future

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related mortality, with a meager 5-year survival rate of under 20%. 1 Patients with PC often exhibit nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain and weight loss, leading to delayed diagnosis.However, even when promptly diagnosed after symptom onset, the majority of PC patients are found to have advanced-stage disease.Despite notable progress in surgical methods, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, the 5-year survival rate remains dishearteningly low at 8.2%.
