First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at whether different ways of teaching families about genetics can increase the number of people who get tested for inherited mutations linked to pancreatic cancer. Up to 1,000 adult family members of pancreatic cancer patients will be enrolled. Participants may provide a saliva sample for FDA-approved genetic testing, and researchers will compare two education methods to see which one works better.
