Core Tip This large-scale case-control study is the first to evaluate the clinical potential of serum S100A6 as a biomarker for pancreatic cancer (PC). When used together with carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), serum S100A6 significantly improved diagnostic accuracy over CA19-9 alone. Importantly, the triple panel including S100A6, CA19-9, and carcinoembryonic antigen significantly improved the differentiation of early-stage PC from chronic pancreatitis. These findings suggest that serum S100A6 may contribute to earlier and more accurate diagnosis of PC. Such improvement could enable timely identification of patients eligible for curative resection. Additional validation in independent and diverse patient populations is warranted.
