Study Reveals Genetics of Pancreatic Cancer
Abstract
In a recent study, researchers established that heritable germline mutations in six genes associated with pancreatic cancer were present in 5.5% of patients with the disease, findings that support broader genetic testing of patients with pancreatic cancer and their family members.
