Pancreatic cancer screening for people at higher risk
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how to screen the pancreas in people who are at increased risk for pancreatic cancer, using a set of risk guidelines. Screening may help find cancer (or early changes) sooner, when it may be easier to treat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being considered for pancreas screening because you are at higher risk (based on family history or other risk factors)
- You have a strong family history of pancreas cancer, or meet specific genetic risk categories (like certain syndrome or gene mutations)
- You have either already started screening or are planning to start screening at a participating study center
- You do not currently have symptoms that suggest pancreatic cancer that require diagnostic testing (like EUS/MRCP) right away
- If you have genetic risk, you have been diagnosed by clinical criteria or a known disease-causing gene mutation

This trial uses MRI and endoscopic ultrasound to look for early signs of pancreatic cancer in people who have a high risk due to their genes or family history. Finding it early may lead to better treatment options.
This study offers pancreatic cancer screening for people with strong family history or certain inherited gene changes. It may help find pancreatic cancer earlier, when treatment may be more effective.
This Phase 3 study tests a structured plan for checking the pancreas early in people with a higher-than-usual risk of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to find changes sooner, when treatment may be easier.
This study offers genetic testing to people at higher risk for pancreatic cancer, especially those with a family history or certain genetic changes. It aims to help you understand your risk and possibly catch cancer early.
This study checks whether regular imaging can find pancreatic cancer earlier in people who recently developed diabetes or whose diabetes is getting worse. It may help detect pancreatic problems sooner when treatment options are likely better.
This study looks at people who are at higher risk for pancreatic cancer, such as those with a family history, certain gene changes, a pancreatic cyst, or new-onset diabetes. The goal is to find cancer early, when it may be easier to treat.
