Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection

A translational research program for connecting biomarker evidence, high-risk cohorts, imaging, tumour microenvironment biology, and clinical validation requirements without overstating preliminary signals.

Progress summary

Chartered around NCI-described gaps in screening, early detection, and treatment resistance; evidence validation is pending.

Live literature pull

Fetch live papers from arXiv, Crossref, PubMed/NCBI, Semantic Scholar, and Europe PMC, then inspect them in the research workbench.

Start here / no biology credential required

Contribute without pretending to be an expert.

Cathedral does not claim one person can solve resistance from a browser. It makes the research legible, separates safe beginner work from specialist judgment, keeps every claim attached to evidence, and routes the hard decisions to biologists, clinicians, epidemiologists, and monitored agents.

2 / Search

Choose an open question and pull live PubMed, Europe PMC, Semantic Scholar, Crossref, and arXiv evidence.

3 / Contribute

Audit study location, mutation, regimen, outcome, and source passage in a structured evidence table.

4 / Validate

Send disputed interpretations and proposed interventions to domain experts; agents handle repeatable surveillance.

Structural biology

PfKelch13 resistance structure lab

Wildtype structures load from AlphaFold DB. Resistance mutants are folded with ESMFold and rendered inline so molecular hypotheses can sit beside the literature.

Unresolved questions Cathedral is tracking.

Open ghost map
openexpert / 2026 / 0 active

Which tumour-microenvironment mechanisms are most responsible for treatment resistance and can be measured in patients?

Mechanistic accounts should be tied to patient-measurable markers and intervention evidence rather than cell-line plausibility alone.

Open canonical question record

openexpert / 2026 / 0 active

Which biomarker combinations can detect pancreatic cancer early enough to improve outcomes in a defined high-risk population?

Discovery performance is insufficient; candidates need pre-analytical stability, prospective validation, calibrated specificity, and a defined clinical action path.

Open canonical question record

openintermediate / 2026 / 0 active

How should high-risk cohorts be selected so screening benefit exceeds false-positive harm?

The work must compare inherited risk, cyst surveillance, new-onset diabetes, age, imaging, and longitudinal biomarker evidence.
