Mayo profile identifies patients most at risk of developing pancreatic cancer

(Mayo Clinic) When people learn they have a lesion in their pancreas that could become pancreatic cancer, they often request frequent CT scans and biopsies, or surgery. Often the lesion is nothing to worry about. A team of international physicians, led by researchers at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida, has developed a profile of the patient most at risk of developing lesions that are most likely to develop into cancer.
