Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection Program

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Pancreatic Cancer, Pancreas Cancer, Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, Familial Pancreatic Cancer, BRCA 1/2, HNPCC, Lynch Syndrome, Hereditary Pancreatitis, FAMMM, Familial Atypical Multiple Mole Melanoma, Peutz Jeghers Syndrome

In brief

Early detection testing is recommended for individuals at elevated risk for the development of Pancreatic Cancer. This Protocol will define sufficiently elevated risk as either equal to or greater than five times the general population risk, or five times the average risk (1.5%) of developing pancreatic cancer by age 70; that is a 7.5% lifetime risk. Our inclusion criteria has a strong focus on the risk for pancreatic cancer imparted by the presence of hereditary cancer genes, as well as by family history. Enrolled subjects will undergo Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) alternating with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), every six to 12 months, for up to 5 years.
