Pancreatic Cancer Prediction Using Urinary Biomarkers

Abstract: Pancreatic cancer, particularly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is one of the dead I iest malignancies, with a five-year survival rate of less than I 0% due to late diagnosis. Early detection is crucial for improving patient outcomes, as treatment is more effective in the early stages. Biomarkers play a significant role in non-invasive cancer detection, assisting healthcare professionals in identifying high-risk individuals. Machine learning and deep learning techniques have beeri increasingly utilized to analyze biomarker data for early-stage cancer detection. This study presents an automated pancreatic cancer prediction system using urinary biomarkers and machine learning models to enhance diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility. The system consists of two primary modules:(!-) a data preprocessing module, which normalizes biomarker concentrations and handles missing values, and (2) a classitication module, which employs lD-CNN, LSTM, and Random Forest models to predict whether a patient is healthy, has a benign pancreatic condition, or has PDAC. The system is trained on the Urinary Biomarkers for Pancreatic Cancer (2020) dataset and validated using 5-fold cross-validation, achieving a high classification accuracy of92.8% with an AUCROC of0.94. This innovation minimizes reliance on invasive diagnostic·methods, streamlines the biomarker-based cancer detection process, and assists healthcare providers in making timely, data-driven clinical decisions, ultimately improving survival rates for pancreatic cancer patients.

Specification

Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an automated pancreatic cancer detection system using urinary
biomarkers and machine learning algorithms. More specifically, it focuses on a non-invasive
diagnostic tool that processes biomarker data through deep learning and statistical models to
classify patient conditions accurately.
Background of the Invention
Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease, with most cases diagnosed at advanced stages due to
a lack of early symptoms. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as CT scans, MRis, and biopsies,
are expensive, invasive, and often performed too late. Urinary biomarkers have emerged as a
promising alternative for non-invasive screening, offering early indications of pancreatic
malignancy. However, manual analysis of biomarker data can be inconsistent and subject to human
error.
Current research integrates machine learning and deep learning to analyze biomarker levels and
improve early detection. While some existing models use CA19-9, our system exclusively utilizes
urinary biomarkers (LYVEl, REGlB, TFFl, REGlA, and Creatinine) for a fully non-invasive
approach. The proposed system leverages lD-CNN, LSTM, and Random Forest models to enhance
classification accuracy and clinical applicability.
Summary of the Invention
The disclosed system automates the analysis of urinary biomarkers for pancreatic cancer
detection using machine learning models. The system consists of two core modules:
• . Data Preprocessing Module - Normalizes biomarker concentrations, handles missing
values, and prepares data for model input.
• Classification Module - Implements lD-CNN, LSTM, and Random Forest to analyze
biomarker levels and classify patients into one of three categories: Healthy, Non-Cancerous
Pancreatic Condition, or PDAC.
The workflow includes:
1. Feature extraction and normalization of biomarker data.
2. Model training using deep learning architectures to enhance pattern recognition.
3. Multi-class classification to differentiate between healthy individuals, benign conditions,
and PDAC.
4. Performance evaluation using metrics such as accuracy (92.8%), precision (91.5%), recall
(90.7%), and AUC-ROC (0.94).
This system significantly improves diagnostic efficiency, reduces false positives/negatives, and
supports early-stage pancreatic cancer screening.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The system follows a structured process to ensure high accuracy and efficiency in predicting
pancreatic cancer:
I. Data Acquisition: Urinary biomarker data is collected from patients and stored in a
structured format.
2. Data Preprocessing:
o Normalization: Adjusts biomarker levels based on creatinine concentration.
o Handling Missing Data: Uses mean imputation and KNN imputation to ensure
data completeness.
3. Feature Engineering & Model Training:
o I D-CNN extracts spatial features from biomarker sequences.
o LSTM captures temporal dependencies in biomarker trends.
o Random Forest provides an interpretable ensemble learning approach.
4. Classification & Prediction:
o Models predict whether the patient is Healthy, has a Benign Pancreatic
Condition, or has PDAC.
5. Evaluation & Validation:
o Performance is validated using 5-fold cross-validation.
o Metrics such as accuracy (92.8%) and AUC-ROC (0.94) are used to assess
reliability.
Advantages of the Invention
• Non-Invasive Detection: Uses only urinary biomarkers, eliminating the need for invasive
biopsies.
