What this study is
The main goal of this study is to screen and detect pancreatic cancer and precursor lesions in individuals with a strong family history or genetic predisposition to pancreatic cancer. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) will be utilized to screen for early stage pancreatic cancer or precursor lesions. Participants will be asked to donate a blood sample at specific intervals for the creation of a bio-bank necessary for the development of a blood based screening test for Pancreatic Cancer.
What's being tested
- MRI/MRCP
Intervention · DIAGNOSTIC TEST
An MRI/MRCP plus IV gadolinium contrast with high resolution imaging of the pancreas will be performed annually
