Official title
The Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Gene Environment Risk Study -A Prospective Cohort Study of Patients at Risk or Having Pancreatic Disease
Overview
After informed consent, participants will be asked to complete a medical/family history questionnaire and provide a blood sample. Some participants may also be asked to provide a urine sample. Individuals undergoing procedures that require collection of biological samples for clinical purposes may have these samples saved for research purposes. Participants will also be asked for their permission for study investigators to access medical records and/or recontact them for updates to their medical and family histories. Data and biospecimens will be stored for potential future research projects.
Primary outcome measures
- The data will be used in cohort association studies. Endpoints will depend on the number of patients in the study and the number of markers that are being evaluated. [Time frame: 10 years]
