Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participating in the PC surveillance program, which requires: • A proven CDKN2A or LKB1/STK11 mutation and = 40 years old • A proven BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, ATM, MLH1, MSH2, or MSH6 mutation with at least one affected first degree blood relative with pancreatic cancer and = 45 years old. • Screening for all mutation carriers ends at the age of 75 years.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Comorbidity leading to an impaired physical performance (World health organization (WHO) performance status 3-4) or mental retardation • Life expectancy < 5 years. • Very limited understanding of the Dutch or English language to be able to make an informed choice. • No informed consent.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The 5-year survival rate of patients with a CDKN2A mutation undergoing surveillance who develop PC. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) The 5-year survival rate of individuals with other (non-CDKN2A) high risk mutations undergoing surveillance who develop PC. 2) The 10-year survival rate of all individuals with a high risk mutation undergoing surveillance who develop PC. 3) Identification of risk factors that predict neoplastic progression and development of PC. 4) The accuracy of MRI/MRCP and EUS for detecting neoplastic lesions, as compared to histology as a reference. 5) Ct-DNA: 5.1) The accuracy and feasibility of ct-DNA to detect PDAC 5.2) The correlation between ct-DNA levels and PC stage. 5.3) The correlation between ct-DNA with CEA and CA 19-9 tumormarkers 6) To explore the molecular profile of CDKN2A PDAC as compared to sporadic PDAC (PDAC occurring in the general population). 7) Assess the cost-effectiveness of pancreatic surveillance in high risk mutation carriers. 8) Exploration of psychological aspects of screening, including knowledge and perceptions of benefits and risks of genetic testing and surveillance. | — |
