Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The objective of this national and multidisciplinary project is to establish and evaluate a personalized surveillance program (SP) for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer (PC) and its precursors in individuals with a hereditary predisposition to the disease (High RIsk Individuals (HRI)). Patients who either carry a germline mutation in a PC susceptibility gene (CDKN2A, STK11, TP53, PRSS1), or have a strong family history of PC, will be enrolled through their genetics clinic at the university hospitals in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Tromsø. Surveillance consists of annual MRI, assessment of blood glucose and lipid levels, new onset diabetes (NOD) and unintentional weight loss. Blood samples will be drawn for ctDNA-analysis (circulating tumor DNA) and the IMMrayTM PanCan-d test (a novel microarray-based diagnostic test for PC) at baseline and in those who develop lesions. The psychological burden and cost-benefit of the SP will be analyzed. The study addresses an unmet need for the care of HRI in Norway, and is expected to improve PC prognosis. It will be the first to provide evidence on the combined value of a panel of blood-borne biomarkers in surveillance, and provide morphological and molecular data on PC and (non)-neoplastic pancreatic changes in HRI.

Arms and outcomes

[]Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Prognosis of pancreatic cancer in patients diagnosed through the surveillance programme compared to prognosis in unscreened individuals as reported to the Cancer Registry of Norway.
- timeFrame
- Up to 20 years
- description
- We will investigate whether 3 year, 5 year and long term survival in HRIs undergoing surveillance is improved compared to rates of survival of pancreatic cancer in the general unscreened population. Survival data for the general population will be collected from the Cancer Registry of Norway. Data on prognosis of pancreatic cancer in patients undergoing surveillance will be collected from electronic patient records, The Cancer Registry of Norway and the National Population Register.
- measure
- Number of resectable cancers detected in patients diagnosed through the surveillance programme compared to the unscreened individuals as reported to the Cancer Registry of Norway.
- timeFrame
- 20 years
- description
- We will investigate whether the number of surgically resectable cancers is higher in HRIs undergoing screening through the surveillance programme compared to pancreatic cancer diagnosed in the general population of Norway. Data on number of resectable cancers in the general Norwegian population will be collected from the Cancer Registry of Norway. Data on cancers diagnosed in the HRI will be collected from electronic patient records and The Cancer Registry of Norway.
