28 Klein AP et al. An absolute risk model to identify individuals at elevated risk for pancreatic cancer in the general population. PLoS One Sep 13;8(9):e AUC for risk models: Only non-genetic factors: 58% Only genetic factors: 57% Both non-genetic and genetic factors: 61% Fewer than 3/1,000 U.S. non- Hispanic whites have more than a 5% predicted lifetime absolute risk. immediate clinical utility of model is limited. The genetic factors did not add substantively to a risk model based on life-style factors only, as most individuals remained in the same risk strata.
