The Pancreas Interception Center (PIC) for Early Detection, Prevention, and Novel Therapeutics
This study establishes a database for clinical data on Moffitt Cancer Center patients enrolling into the Pancreas Interception Center (PIC). The PIC is designed to educate, identify, and alter the course of individuals who are at risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and receive care at Moffitt. By leveraging expertise from a team of experts which include gastroenterologists, pancreatic surgeons, geneticists, radiologists, nutritionists, and epidemiologists, high risk patients can enter a robust lifestyle regimen to alter the course of their pancreas health. The establishment of this database may help develop effective strategies that can be applied clinically at the point-of-care to prevent, intercept, or detect PDAC at an early stage, thereby reducing PDAC burden and saving lives.
