Are you at high risk for pancreatic cancer?

You may be at high risk of pancreatic cancer if you have a strong family history of pancreatic cancer, have a gene mutation associated with pancreatic cancer, or are over 50 with unexplained new-onset type 2 diabetes.

If you are at high risk, a cell-free DNA blood-based testing service may help detect pancreatic cancer at earlier stages, potentially improving survival and other outcomes.

Detected at Stage 1A2

Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed late, after it has spread to other areas of the body.

The early detection of pancreatic cancer can help the diagnosis of early-stage disease when treatments may result in better survival outcomes. (Ref = National Pancreatic Cancer Roadmap) .

 A cell-free DNA-based blood testing service for people at high risk may aid in the early detection of pancreatic cancer.

How is pancreatic cancer detected?

Early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they are often similar to common, less serious diseases.⁶

There is no routine screening program for pancreatic cancer in the general population. Surveillance for high risk people currently occurs in clinical trials or at specialised centres.

As a result, pancreatic cancer is often detected at a later stage once the cancer is large enough to affect nearby organs or has spread. ⁷

This highlights an unmet need for risk-based surveillance for people who may be at higher risk.

⚠️ Did you know?

Pancreatic cancer is often detected late. Around 80% of cases are diagnosed only after the cancer has already spread. ⁹

⚠️ Did you know?

About 90% of pancreatic cancers occur in people without a family history, so many people don’t realise they’re at risk.
