  • Patients diagnosed with a pancreatic cyst undergoing either endoscopic ultrasound or surgery. Bio-specimens collected include pancreatic cyst fluid and blood. These will be collected using a standard operating protocol.
  • Patients defined as a high risk individual for pancreas cancer by family history and/or known genetic mutations. Bio-specimens collected include blood. This will be collected using a standard operating protocol.
