Familial Pancreatic Cancer: Challenging Diagnostic Approach and Therapeutic Management
Conclusions However, the optimal age of initial screening remains undefined. Furthermore, a multidisciplinary assessment is required to determine whether surgical interventions should be performed at high-volume specialty centers. The aim of this study is to collect all the recent information considering the genetic basis, screening protocols, and treatment of FPC in order to provide an update on the current contemporary concepts of therapeutic management of the disease.
