About

Pancreas cancer is the 11th most common cancer in Canada but the 4th most common cause of cancer death because by the time pancreas cancer is detected, it is almost always too advanced for surgery. There are known factors that put individuals at higher risk for pancreas cancer. These include: certain genetic mutations, a family history of pancreas cancer, pancreas cysts and a new diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Individuals with these risk factors are recommended to undergo pancreas screening with blood tests and yearly imaging tests of the pancreas. Our study will enroll patients with these risk factors and ensure they are managed as per guidelines. Prospectively collected data will include: patient clinicodemographic details, lifestyle factors, screening test results, clinical outcomes and patient reported outcome measures.
