Key Words Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; Red cell distribution width; Tumor location; Very early recurrence; Tumor; Machine learning
Core Tip Very early recurrence within 12 weeks of pancreatic cancer surgery represents surgical failure with outcome similar to palliative care. poorly separated (grade 3) tumors, pancreatic head location, and elevated red cell distribution width are emerged as key indicators. Machine learning optimized models integrated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and S100 calcium binding protein A2 biomarkers offer precision medicine possibility, but implementation faces continuous socioeconomic obstacles requiring healthcare system transformation and collaborative international efforts.
