Harmless pancreatic score (HPS) is a scoring system used to evaluate the risk of pancreatic cancer for individuals with certain risk factors. The HPS score is based on a combination of medical history, family history, lifestyle, and other factors. A higher score indicates a higher risk of pancreatic cancer. The HPS is designed to help healthcare professionals identify those at the highest risk so that they can receive appropriate screening and preventive measures.
