Interested individuals can be referred by physicians, or by family or friends.
Individuals are informed that the purpose of this study is to collect outcome data following early detection testing based upon our criteria for elevated risk.
Consent is obtained by any of the co-investigators. Consent is obtained for the primary PCEDP, and also obtained to allow for data to be used by our Cancer Program.
We have a weekly review of all calls made and of all enrollments.
We have a monthly meeting to review all proceeding regarding the study.
Our IRB routinely reviews the proceedings of the study
Our institution has a monthly Clinical research Committee meeting.

Individuals at elevated risk for pancreatic cancer
Individuals with an elevated risk of developing pancreatic cancer as either equal to or greater than five times the general population risk, or five times the average risk (1.5%) of developing pancreatic cancer by age 70; that is a 7.5% lifetime risk.
