Search Results: Prevention, Detection & Risk + Pancreatic Cancer (5 results)

This study will look at how often routine MRI scans detect abnormal findings in people with genetic mutations linked to hereditary cancer, specifically BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, and PALB2, who are undergoing pancreatic cancer screening. Researchers aim to determine how frequent there are abnormal MRI and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) results, as well as the occurrence of high-grade pancreatic precancerous lesions and pancreatic cancer. The study will also review the rate of procedures like biopsies and surgeries among participants. 

CAPS5 is a study looking at screening for early cancer in people with an elevated lifetime risk of developing pancreatic cancer. The goal is to study biomarkers derived from images and tissue samples (blood, pancreas fluid, duodenal fluid) for the early detection of pancreatic cancer and precancerous lesions.

The study will collect clinical information, family history, and samples (blood, saliva or cheek swab) from people and families at risk for pancreatic cancer. Collecting this information and samples will create a resource to drive research necessary for early detection and prevention of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

The purpose of this study is to try to find markers of early pancreatic cancer for individuals at higher-than-average risk, expedite the diagnosis in individuals with symptoms, and substantially improve an individual's chance of surviving the disease.

The purpose of this study is to screen and detect pancreatic cancer and precancer in people with either a strong family history of pancreatic cancer, or an inherited mutation associated with pancreatic cancer risk.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will be used to screen for early stage pancreatic cancer. Participants will also be asked to donate a blood sample at specific intervals for the creation of a blood bank necessary for the development of a blood-based screening test for pancreatic cancer.
