Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial screens people with inherited gene changes or strong family histories for early signs of pancreatic cancer, aiming to catch it at a stage when it is most treatable. **You may be eligible if...** - You carry a gene mutation linked to pancreatic cancer risk (such as STK11, CDKN2A, ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, or others) and meet the age requirements for each gene - You have a strong family history of pancreatic cancer (two or more first-degree relatives on the same side of the family) - You have hereditary pancreatitis caused by PRSS1 gene changes **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - You do not meet the specific age and genetic criteria for your risk category Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
