The point to your question is that by having genetic testing done and learning of an inherited (germline) mutation, a surveillance type and frequency will be recommended. Pancreatic cancer has much better outcomes when detected earlier so the appropriate treatment can be started. The cure rate for pancreatic cancer is statistically higher in all phases below IV.
Thank you so much. More good wishes going out to your mom and you.
