Subclassified as - definitive, probable, and possible DIP

Limitations of '96 classification:

🌟Pancreatic cancer (PC) Screening by @MajumderShounak #IMPACT #gitwitter

Why care about screening for PC?
10th leading cancer 🦀diagnosis in 🇺🇸 but 3rd leading cancer☠️with 5-year survival is only 11%

🎯Current recommendations suggest against PC screening unless "high-risk" ImageImage Define "High-risk individual" (HRI)?
1⃣Age
2⃣Fam hx of PC (dx age, relationship)
3⃣Germline mutations

‼️Familial PC = ≥2 first-degree relatives (FDR)
☠️If 2 FDR 6x risk
☠️If 3 FDR 32x risk

🦀Genetic mutations assoc with PC (5.5% cases) - CDKN2A, TP53, MLH1, BRCA2, ATM,
BRCA1
