Pancreatic cancer screening for people with high-risk genes
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks whether regular pancreatic screening (likely including imaging) can find pancreatic cancer early in people with certain inherited gene changes and a family history. If you qualify, you may help doctors learn the best way to screen higher-risk people.

This study looks for people at high risk for pancreatic cancer, either because of family history, certain genetic mutations, or concerning pancreatic cysts. Researchers want to follow you over time to find cancer early, when it's easier to treat.
This trial tests ways to screen people who have a family-passed (inherited) gene mutation linked to higher pancreatic cancer risk. The goal is to find pancreatic cancer earlier and improve how screening is done for people at increased risk.
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 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 screens people at high risk for pancreatic cancer using imaging tests. It aims to catch cancer early in those with certain genetic conditions or strong family history.
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.
