Friend
I realize it's been almost a year since your post, but I will put this information out anyway, for whoever might find it. I am interested in the genetics of pancreatic cancer, since I have a friend with the disease, whose mother and two uncles also had it. I Googled the terms "pancreatic cancer" +"genetic testing" +Chicago and found that there is a hospital in Chicago with special expertise in genetic screening for pancreatic cancer. Here is their web site:

All the best.
Hi! Here it is Feb, 1. 2008 and I just found this link. I am so grateful for the info I'm getting on the genetic aspect of pc... My husband died in November, 2007 following his sister 2 years earlier. It's just been such a terrible loss and an undignified and painful way to go. We must push for early detection. Most cases are found only after the cancer has spread to another organ. Then it's just too late... So, thank you!!
