Getting Tested - Knowledge is Power

Real Talk About Testing

If you’re a patient, biomarker and genetic testing can help inform the treatment options that may work best for you and show if you have inherited mutations that can impact your family. And if you have a family member with pancreatic cancer, genetic testing can help you understand whether you have increased risk for developing the disease.

Jen, Teona and Nick talk about why they each decided to get tested.

PanCAN strongly recommends that all pancreatic cancer patients talk with their doctor about genetic testing for inherited mutations and biomarker testing of their tumor tissue to help determine the best treatment options. If you have a parent, child or sibling diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, talk with your doctor about genetic testing. PanCAN Patient Services can provide you with information on testing and help you prepare for a conversation with your doctor.
