Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Pancreatic cancer survival rates remain low despite improvements.
  • Early diagnosis is hindered by delayed referrals from practitioners, impacting treatment and prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Pancreatic Cancer Project in Matsue for early pancreatic cancer detection.
  • To assess the impact of the project on referral times and disease staging.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of clinical data from 234 patients.
  • Abdominal ultrasonography and tumor marker blood tests were utilized for initial screening.
  • Abnormal findings led to specialist imaging and follow-up.

Main Results:

  • The project detected pancreatic cancer in 6.0% (14) of patients.
  • All detected cases were referred to a general hospital within one month.
  • Detected cancers were predominantly at earlier stages (I-II).

Conclusions:

  • The Pancreatic Cancer Project in Matsue shows promise for improving early detection rates.
  • Prompt referral by practitioners remains critical for enhancing pancreatic cancer prognosis.
  • This initiative may contribute to better patient outcomes through earlier diagnosis and treatment.
