Abstract

BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant therapy may improve survival of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma; however, determining response to therapy is difficult. Artificial intelligence allows for novel analysis of images. We hypothesized that a deep learning model can predict tumor response to NAC.
