Screening

There are no recommended screening tests for pancreatic cancer for people who are at average risk.

For people who have a family history of pancreatic cancer, genetic tests can be done to assess the risk of pancreatic cancer. People at higher risk may be monitored using a test called an endoscopic ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.[11]
