Trial Description

Purpose:

Diagnostic procedures such as CT scans and MRI may improve the identification of pancreatic lesions in patients who have von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. Genetic studies may help in understanding the genetic processes involved in the development of some types of cancer.

This clinical trial is studying how well diagnostic and genetic tests work in finding pancreatic lesions in patients with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.

Eligibility:

Eligibility criteria include the following:

• At least 12 years old
• Willing to travel to the National Institutes of Health
• For more information about the eligibility criteria for this trial, refer to the Health Professional version.

Final eligibility for a clinical trial is determined by the health professionals conducting the trial.

Treatment/Intervention:

Patients will undergo imaging procedures, such as CT scan, MRI, and abdominal ultrasound. They will provide blood and urine samples for laboratory and genetic studies. All patients will be offered genetic counseling. Patients may undergo follow-up imaging procedures every 1-2 years. Some patients may undergo surgery.

Important:

For more details about this trial, refer to the Health Professional version of the trial summary.
