Studies
CAPS-5 Study (The Cancer of the Pancreas Screening-5)
The Cancer of the Pancreas Screening-5 (CAPS5) Study
- Aim 1: To evaluate pancreatic fluid mutations and circulating pancreatic epithelial cells as accurate markers of neoplasia by comparing their prevalence in cases with sporadic pancreatic neoplasia to healthy and disease controls.
- Aim 2: To compare the prevalence of pancreatic fluid mutations and circulating pancreatic epithelial cells among a prospective cohort of individuals with sporadic pancreatic cysts undergoing pancreatic surveillance.
- Aim 3: To determine the prevalence of pancreatic lesions, pancreatic fluid mutations and circulating pancreatic epithelial cells among a large cohort of high-risk individuals undergoing pancreatic screening and surveillance of a new cohort in which screening is begun at age >55.
