Summary
1. To develop a cohort (biobank of biospecimens and data) of subjects without pancreatic cancer who are at high-risk for pancreatic cancer due to:
a. A strong family history,
b. A mutation in a known pancreatic cancer predisposition gene, or
c. Fukuoka worrisome or high-risk pancreatic cysts.
2. To follow the cohort subjects longitudinally and collect biospecimens and follow-up data and record medical outcomes.
3. To make biospecimen available to PCDC-approved projects to validate potential biomarkers for performance using nested case-control prospective designs.
