About this Study

Improved screening for pancreatic cancer in high-risk groups, such as people with an inherited BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, or PALB2 mutation, may help find cancer early and improve survival rates. People enrolled in this study will undergo screening using endoscopic ultrasound or MRI of the abdomen.

What the Study Entails

People enrolled with the study will have annual screening for pancreatic cancer using one of two procedures: 

Participants will be screened and followed for ten years. 

Note: EUSs and MRIs performed on study participants are billed to insurance, and the study does not cover the cost of these procedures.
