Causes of death related to malignant neoplasms of digestive organs (GI cancers) in a total of 189 participants, and on the subset of 82 individuals who died within 5 years following their last LDCT screening. Causes of death were determined using ICD-10 codes for GI cancers: C15-C26, covering cancers of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectosigmoid junction, rectum, anus, liver, gallbladder, biliary tract, pancreas, and other digestive organs. Whether within 5 years of their last LDCT or in the long term, pancreatic cancer remains the deadliest.
