Summary

This study aims to collect medical history, family history, and blood or urine samples from 10,000 people with or at risk for pancreatic cancer. Researchers will use this information to look for genetic and environmental factors linked to the disease. Participants may also be asked for permission to access their medical records for follow-up. The goal is to better understand what causes pancreatic cancer and how to detect it earlier.
