Abstract

Diagnosing early-stage pancreatic cancer (PC) remains a clinical challenge. Hence, studying novel imaging aspects that could enhance the diagnostic accuracy of malignant pancreatic precursor lesions is imperative. This article aims to underscore the promising role of emerging imaging aspects that may facilitate the earlier diagnosis of PC, thereby improving its management and prognosis.

Keywords: Pancreatic cancer; Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm; High-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm; Pancreatic ducts; Cancer; Early diagnosis

Core Tip: The description and validation of novel imaging findings that could enhance the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer (PC) at early stages remain a challenge for radiologists. However, recent studies have suggested emerging radiological signs that may facilitate the early diagnosis of PC and its malignant precursor lesions.
