  • Patients diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PC) who have a positive MGPT result are very likely to share their test result with close relatives.
  • Close relatives of patients with a positive genetic test underwent targeted testing.
  • Family communication and cascade testing in PC may be challenging due to the poor survival rates in these patients.
