Abstract
The aims of the present study include identifying and assessing the risk factors for pancreatic cancer (PCA) among first-degree relatives (FDRs) of PCA patients, and assessment of EUS to screen for early pancreatic cancer. A regional registry of PCA patients and their FDRs was compiled. 110 consenting PCA patients and 420 of their FDRs were enrolled. Consenting FDRs attended informative lectures, and completed forms assessing risk factors. Data was collated on ethnic origin, presence of any previous or current diseases, BMI, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, dietary habits, and presence of any symptoms typical for PCA.
