Genetic Test For Pancreatic Cancer

Subject: Genetic Testing For pc
Date: 10/04/2006
I know your post was some time ago. Did you ever get a response? My Uncle died of PC ten years ago. Now my Grandmother has it. She was urged to have genetic testing done by one of the general oncologists we saw. We are now seeing a specialist for pc. He told us genetic testing would not give us a definite answer. They have not yet located the specific gene linking to pc. Are you of Jewish descent? I know it runs more prevelant in that race. We were also told it would cost about $6,000.00 to have testing done. Our dr. said the best thing we can do is always be on the look out for early warning signs and to always tell our doctors that we do have a family history of it. I hope this helps.
