Are BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation patients underscreened for pancreatic adenocarcinoma?
Abstract
Breast cancer (BRCA) mutations account for the highest proportion of hereditary causes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Screening is currently recommended only for patients with one first-degree relative or two family members with PDAC. We hypothesized that screening all BRCA1/2 patients would identify a higher rate of pancreatic abnormalities.All BRCA1/2 patients at a single academic center were retrospectively reviewed (2005-2015)....
