Leveraging the Electronic Health Record for Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer Among 9.4 Million US Veterans

Compared with current screening practices targeting only genetically predisposed individuals, its implementation could identify 3 times as many PDAC cases. However, predictors beyond the electronic health record (EHR) may be needed to further improve the feasibility of generalized screening.
