Application of plasma protein combination in pancreatic cancer screening
By detecting GCLC, ALAD, HAGH, and SORD proteins in the plasma of pancreatic cancer patients using mass spectrometry and combining this with a binary logistic regression model, the low sensitivity and false negatives of existing pancreatic cancer screening technologies have been resolved, achieving efficient early screening for pancreatic cancer and making it suitable for large-scale population screening.

AI Technical Summary
Existing pancreatic cancer screening methods, such as imaging examinations, have limited sensitivity and are costly, while plasma biomarkers, such as CA19-9, have problems such as low sensitivity and false negatives, making it difficult to achieve early screening of large populations.
Mass spectrometry was used to detect four proteins—GCLC, ALAD, HAGH, and SORD—in the plasma of pancreatic cancer patients. Combined with a binary logistic regression model, pancreatic cancer was identified by quantitative protein abundance, and the formula P = 1/(1+e-(-75.635+2.189×GCLC+0.378×ALAD+0.317×HAGH+0.681×SORD) was used for discrimination.
It significantly improves the sensitivity and specificity of pancreatic cancer screening, with an overall accuracy of 0.93 and an AUC of 0.96 in the independent validation set. It is suitable for non-invasive, scalable population screening and has good stability and reproducibility.
