Pancreatic cancer: epidemiology, genetics, and approaches to screening.

Oncology (Williston Park, N.Y.) - 1 Dec 2002

Konner Jason, O'Reilly Eileen

Abstract excerpt

Pancreatic cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Treatment has limited efficacy, and 5-year survival rates remain less than 5%. Insights from epidemiology and discoveries in molecular genetics have laid the groundwork for a rational screening strategy for high-risk individuals. High-risk populations include those in their 6th to 8th decades of life, those with a family history of pancreatic...
