Microsimulation Model Identifies 4-Year Window for Pancreatic Cancer Screening
It takes an average of 4 years for a pancreatic lesion to progress from high-grade dysplasia (HGD) to cancer, suggesting a window of opportunity for screening, based on a microsimulation model.
Screening should instead focus on identifying high-grade dysplastic lesions, they suggested.

4-Year Window for Pancreatic Cancer Screening

"Unfortunately, the poor results of pancreatic cancer screening do not align with this assumption, leaving unanswered whether this large window of opportunity truly exists."
