Brief summary public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

RATIONALE: Gathering medical information and collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue to test in the laboratory may help doctors develop better ways to screen people at risk for pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic disorders in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is collecting medical information and tissue samples from patients with pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic disorders.

Detailed description public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To maintain a resource (bank) of biospecimens and data collected from individuals being seen clinically for pancreas conditions to facilitate the discovery and development of (but not limited to) biomarkers of risk (including genomic and proteomic) and early detection as well as novel targeted therapies for pancreatic diseases with a focus on pancreatic cancer. OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Patients undergo blood, saliva, and previously obtained leftover tissue sample collection on study. Patients also complete questionnaires and have their medical records reviewed on study.
