Correction highlights findings on diagnostic signatures for pancreatic cancer among patients at risk, indicating potential for improved accuracy.
Mahajan UM, Oehrle B, Goni E, et al. Validation of two plasma multimetabolite signatures for patients at risk of or with suspected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (METAPAC): a prospective, multicentre, investigator-masked, enrichment design, phase 4 diagnostic study. Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol 2025; 10: 634–47—In this Article, the third sentence of the legend to figure 2 should read: “The blue encircled points denote people who benefit from the i-Metabolic or m-Metabolic signature in predicting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (false negatives with CA 19-9 alone), and orange encircled points represent people who benefit by avoiding misdiagnosis (false positives with CA 19-9 alone).” This correction has been made as of March 11, 2026.
