Story summary

Researchers developed a 13-point risk score to predict pancreatic cancer recurrence after surgical removal in patients without lymph node spread.
Dr. Cristina Ferrone, a senior researcher, said the score flags higher recurrence risk.
The study analyzed data from 770 patients, with about 10% without lymph node spread recurring, often in the liver.
The 13-point score classifies patients into low-, moderate-, and high-risk groups to guide monitoring.
