Brief summary

This study aims to establish a prospective cohort of developing pancreas cancer and surveillance MRI protocol. With the focused surveillance protocol, we perform surveillance for pancreas cancer for five years to estimate the risk of pancreas cancer and the clinical feasibility of the surveillance MRI.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTAbbreviated PB MRI

Annual non-contrast PB MRI.

GENETICGene mutation test

K-ras and GNAS mutation test. Being performed once as a baseline test at the enrollment.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTConventional follow-up

Any of followings: scheduled CECT, MRI, USG, EUS, tumor marker (CA 19-9) during the study period.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Detection of pancreas cancer1 year after the last surveillance MRI.number of detected pancreas cancer (resectable & BRPC only) in surveillance MRI.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
