CT images of a 64-year-old male with pancreatic cancer. The patient’s preoperative CA19-9 level was 16.7 U/ml. (a) Axial portal venous phase CT image shows a 3.2 cm-sized pancreatic cancer (arrow) at the pancreas head. There was abutment of the tumor to the superior mesenteric vein (arrowhead), but no evidence of adjacent organ invasion. (b) Coronal portal venous phase shows the pancreatic cancer (arrow) with upstream main pancreatic duct dilatation (arrowheads). (c) Portal venous phase with segmentation overlay. An R0 resection was performed, with a pathological stage of T2N1. The CR model predicted non-early recurrence, while the CRR model predicted early recurrence. The patient experienced recurrence within 12 months, in the form of liver metastasis
