Glucose monitor data as an early pancreatic cancer signal
Millions now wear continuous glucose monitors. A sudden, unexplained worsening of glucose control in a middle-aged wearer could be flagged as a possible early sign of pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer causes new or worsening diabetes one to three years before diagnosis. Continuous glucose monitor streams give a far finer signal of glycaemic drift than sporadic HbA1c. Propose a retrospective study linking CGM data to pancreatic cancer outcomes to define a drift signature, then a prospective alert routing flagged users to ENDPAC-style work-up.
- Most lethal cancers are found late · Screening exists for only a few cancers. Pancreatic, ovarian, liver, oesophageal and most lung cancers are found when cure is unlikely.
