Abstract

Background & aims Relatives of patients with pancreatic cancer and persons with certain inherited syndromes are at increased risk for developing pancreatic cancer. We prospectively evaluated the feasibility of screening for pancreatic neoplasia in high-risk individuals.Methods Individuals from familial pancreatic cancer kindreds and a patient with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome underwent screening endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). If the EUS was abnormal, EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and spiral computed tomography (CT) were performed. Patients with abnormalities suggesting neoplasia had surgery.Results Thirty-eight patients were studied; 31 (mean age, 58 yr; 42% men) from kindreds with > or =3 affected with pancreatic cancer; 6 from kindreds with 2 affected relatives, 1 was a patient with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. None had symptoms referable to the pancreas or suggestive of malignancy. Six pancreatic masses were found by EUS: 1 invasive ductal adenocarcinoma, 1 benign intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, 2 serous cystadenomas, and 2 nonneoplastic masses. Hence, the diagnostic yield for detecting clinically significant pancreatic neoplasms was 5.3% (2 of 38). The 1 patient with pancreatic cancer was treated and still is alive and disease-free >5 years after surgery. EUS changes similar to those associated with chronic pancreatitis were found, which were more common in patients with a history of regular alcohol intake (P = 0.02), but also occurred in patients who did not consume alcohol. Screening also led to a new diagnosis and treatment of symptomatic upper-gastrointestinal conditions in 18.4% of patients.Conclusions EUS-based screening of asymptomatic high-risk individuals can detect prevalent resectable pancreatic neoplasia but false-positive diagnoses also occur.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
