Looking for good research for Pancratic Familial Cancer in my Family. RISK very high. What are the possibilities of this being positive and is so, would the EUS be a good tool in finding a early pre-maligancy for this Cancer. Several memebers of my Immediate Family have died of this. My Brothe who is 6 yrs younger has gone through John Hopkin's for the WHIPPLE in 03. My mother died in 95, and her mother and 2w aunts. I am having some problems now. I am a 61 y/o f. I am had the test for the gene which may be carried in our family. How long from the time it starts till diagnosis is the year span? I am waiting on my results, which may take 3 weeks, I had a DVT and bad PE to lungs last year. No tests posititive for antibodies at all, so DR is concerned this may be the reason. I would like to get as much INFO as possible for this.
Thank You
