  • Publication number: 20240344142
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting pancreatic cancer in a cell-free DNA sample obtained from a patient's plasma, without need for a surgical biopsy or other invasive means. The method involves consideration of multiple feature types, including at least the following: 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)-containing fragment counts in each of a plurality of genomic regions; cfDNA fragment size analysis; and copy number variation (CNV) determination. A probability score is calculated for each of a plurality of base models, with each base model corresponding to a feature set, and the probability scores are combined in an ensemble model to generate an overall probability score that a patient has pancreatic cancer.
