Core Tip	New-onset diabetes (NOD) is a reproducible clinical signal associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, but its absolute cancer risk remains low. This minireview summarizes recent prospective cohort data, risk stratification models, and screening-related evidence showing why NODs should not be used as a screening indication. Instead, it should be considered a gatekeeper for stepwise risk enrichment, with future efforts focused on clinically actionable absolute-risk thresholds, biomarkers, and prospective validation.
