📋 NCCN Guidelines Version 1.2027. Management/Screening: Pancreatic Cancer 🚨The key update: Negative genetic testing does not rule out pancreatic cancer screening. Family history matters. ➡️ We welcome the @NCCN inclusion of a dedicated section on screening based on family history alone. Individuals with multiple relatives affected by pancreatic cancer may qualify for screening, even when genetic testing has not identified an inherited pathogenic variant 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 📋 See the visual below👇 for the details, including 🔗 cgaigc.com/find-a-clinic #PancreaticCancer #FamilyHistory #CancerScreening #GeneticCounseling

Great to see Dr Wise, a past CGA-IGC president so engaged with the next generations of surgeons 👍 Hopefully some of these wonderful residents will have an interest in #HereditaryGICancer syndromes & we'll see them #CGAIGC26 in Denver, CO this year or at a future CGA-IGC annual meeting🙂
