Abstract
Historically, patients with pancreatic cancer presented with hyperglycemia and glycemic intolerance, leading to a hypothesis that diabetes may be associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Nearly 50 years later, our understanding about the association and pathophysiological link between diabetes and PDAC continues to expand. What has been elucidated is that new-onset diabetes, especially in patients with weight loss or over the age of 50, may be an early clinical sign of PDAC. Additionally, long-standing diabetes remains an independent risk factor for development of PDAC. The pathophysiology of both new-onset and long-standing diabetes and PDAC is closely linked to non-alcoholic steatopancreatitis, the local inflammatory microenvironment, and metabolic alterations that bidirectionally arise from and worsen diabetes. This review summarizes current evidence evaluating the association between diabetes and pancreatic cancer. We also review the pathophysiology of this interaction, and discuss how understanding these mechanism may allow prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of pancreatic malignancy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
