This is a research study that collects blood, saliva, and tissue samples from people with pancreatic conditions—including pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, and cysts. The samples and your medical information will be stored in a secure bank to help researchers discover new ways to detect pancreatic disease early and develop better treatments.
Pancreatic diseases, especially cancer, are serious and hard to catch early. By collecting samples and medical records from many patients, researchers hope to find new warning signs and develop targeted therapies that could improve outcomes for future patients.

As a participant, you would provide blood and saliva samples during a visit to Mayo Clinic. Researchers may also use tissue samples that were already collected during your medical care. You'll fill out questionnaires about your health history, and the research team will review your medical records. This is an observational study, meaning you are not being asked to take any new medication—only to contribute samples and information to help advance research.
