Timeline of development of pancreatic cancer and implications for successful early detection in high-risk individuals

To successfully implement imaging-based pancreatic cancer (PC) surveillance, it is key to understand the timeline and morphological features of neoplastic progression. We aimed to investigate the progression to neoplasia from serial prediagnostic pancreatic imaging tests in high-risk individuals, and identify factors associated with successful early detection.
