Pancreatic Cancer Surveillance Programs
​
Global Pancreatic Cancer Surveillance Program Resources
Approximately 10% of pancreatic cancers are due to a hereditary etiology. Presently, only those individuals with a higher lifetime risk of developing a pancreatic adenocarcinoma are candidates for pancreatic cancer surveillance.
Who May be a Candidate for Pancreatic Cancer Surveillance?
-
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
Surveillance recommendations are available through the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) guidelines, National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, and the American Gastroenterology Association (AGA) clinical practice update. All of these guidelines suggest that patients be cared for at expert centers that provide a comprehensive multidisciplinary pancreatic cancer surveillance program.
Most of these centers participate in consortiums that encourage the collection of
surveillance data in a standardized manner to support research efforts aimed at improving pancreatic cancer surveillance.
CGA members actively participate in the two major international surveillance consortiums: CAPS (International Cancer of the Pancreas Screening) consortium and Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection (PRECEDE) Consortium.
