In recent year, many deep learning have been playing an important role in the detection of cancers. This study aimed to real-timely differentiate a pancreatic cancer (PC) or a non-pancreatic cancer (NPC) lesion via endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) image. A total of 1213 EUS images from 157 patients (99 male, 58 female) with pancreatic disease were used for training, validation and test groups. Before model training, regions of interest (ROIs) were manually drawn to mark the PC and NPC lesions using Labelimage software. Yolov5m was used as the algorithm model to automatically distinguish the presence of pancreatic lesion. After training the model based on EUS images using YOLOv5, the parameters achieved convergence within 300 rounds (GIoU Loss: 0.01532, Objectness Loss: 0.01247, precision: 0.713 and recall: 0.825). For the validation group, the mAP0.5 was 0.831, and mAP@.5:.95 was 0.512. In addition, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed this model seemed to have a trend of more AUC of 0.85 (0.665 to 0.956) than the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.838 (0.65 to 0.949) generated by physicians using EUS detection without puncture, although pairwise comparison of ROC curves showed that the AUC between the two groups was not significant (z= 0.15, p = 0.8804). This study suggested that the YOLOv5m would generate attractive results and allow for the real-time decision support for distinction of a PC or a NPC lesion.
