Prospective Familial Cohort For Pancreas Research

Overview

About this study

The aim of this study is to establish and actively follow a prospective cohort of individuals from pancreas cancer families to ascertain the development of pancreatic cancer and other cancer types in these families.  

We will establish and maintain a prospective cohort of individuals who do not have pancreas cancer but are members of a kindred with two or more blood-related family members with pancreas cancer, or with at least one blood-related family member with pancreas cancer and one relative who carries a variant in a gene known to be associated with pancreatic cancer.  

We will administer questionnaires to these individuals every two years to ascertain diagnosis of pancreas cancer and other cancer types in these subjects and their families. 

We may request a onetime blood sample (up to 50cc) from these individuals in the future.
