Title
Pancreas cancer incidence and mortality by NLST trial arm
Summary
I will compare incidence and mortality across arms to gauge if CT was able to detect pancreas cancer. I also will look at characteristics of tumors detected. I am looking at these data to get a sense of whether CT screening could result in "serendipitous" overdiagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
Aims

Compare pancreas cancer incidence, mortality, and other outcomes across trial arms in the NLST
