Family and Personal History of Malignancy in Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN)

Plain-language summary

This is a retrospective observational study to determine the proportion of patients with a family history of pancreatic cancer and other malignancies among patients who have intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). The investigators will be reviewing the demographic, clinical, radiologic, pathologic, and follow-up information from the Pancres Center database. The investigators will also conduct a chart review to collect information recorded by clinicians on each subject's family history of malignancy and personal history of malignancy. Results of this database and chart review will be incorporated into a datasheet in which all patient identifiers have been removed. The primary outcome will be the percentage of IPMN patients with at least one first-degree relative with pancreatic cancer or IPMN, or at least two first or second degree relatives with pancreatic cancer, IPMN, or malignancies related to pancreatic cancer syndromes, including colorectal, gastric, breast, ovarian, and melanoma neoplasms. Secondary outcomes will be the relative risk of IPMN subtypes of higher malignant potential (main duct or mixed type location), more advanced histology (carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma), and recurrence following surgical resection amongst subjects with a family history.
