Abstract Pancreatic cancer (PAAD) is notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat, leading to poor prognosis. The Warburg Effect is a characteristic of cancer, where cancer cells prioritize glycolysis for energy production. This project seeks to investigate glycolysis as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for PAAD, and to create accurate models for PAAD patients.
