Global Pancreatic Cancer Surveillance Resources

​

Approximately 10% of pancreatic cancers are due to a hereditary cause. Candidates for Pancreatic Cancer Surveillance may include:

​

  • Individuals with a known hereditary syndrome associated with an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer

  • Individuals with multiple family members who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer

​

The American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), and the American Gastroenterology Association (AGA) suggest that patients be cared for at expert centers that provide
a comprehensive, multidisciplinary pancreatic cancer surveillance program. Many of these centers participate in consortiums that encourage collection of
standardized surveillance data to support research efforts aimed at improving pancreatic cancer surveillance.
