- Italian patients suffering from mucinous neoplasms
- description
- Italian patients suffering from mucinous neoplasms will follow a brief interview made by a psychologist. The interview of pilot group will be record to allow us to investigate and track detail that will highlight the comprehension of cancer worry scale and participants' suggestion. Moreover during the session will be ask to patients to fill inn Irritability-Depression-Anxiety Scale and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to evaluate other psycho-emotional information about fear of cancer

Inclusion Criteria: Subject will be recruited from the current outpatients' clinic activity of the General and Pancreatic Surgery Unit, Pancreas Institute, Verona University Hospital. Subjects must be able to read and write in Italian. After obtained informed consent we will ask them to participate to preliminary pilot phase. The interview of the pilot group will be audio recorded to allow to investigate and track detail that will highlight the comprehension of scale and participants' suggestion. Patients affected by cynic neoplasm (group A) and high risk subjects for familiarity/genetic predisposition (group B) are currently enrolled at General and Pancreatic Surgery Unit of the Pancreas Institute of the University of Verona. Group A Patients with premalignant lesions (such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms) that are followed-up at our Institution, to detect any clinic-radiological progression. Subjects older than 18 will be enrolled. Group B The enrolment criteria were the following : * Having at least 45 years of age or 10 years younger than the age of the youngest relative with pancreatic cancer (only for subject with familiar history of pancreatic cancer) * Having at least 40 years of age or 5 years younger than the age of the youngest relative with pancreatic cancer (only for subject with familial pancreatitis and subject affected by Lynch syndrome with at least one relative first- or second-degree affected by pancreatic cancer and subject having a known genetic mutation with at least a first-degree relative or a second-degree relative affected by pancreatic cancer * Having at least 30 years of age for subject with Familial Multiple Melanoma Syndrome * Having at least 30 years of age for patients affected by Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. The interview of pilot group will be record to allow us to investigate and track detail that will highlight the comprehension of cancer worry scale and participants' suggestion.
