We’re on a mission to transform #PancreaticCancer into a curable disease by funding research by the world’s best scientists. 100% of donations fund PC research.Lustgarten.org Woodbury, NYJoined February 2009
A9.1 The FELIX program has successfully developed highly accurate algorithms capable of identifying pancreatic cancer lesions with an accuracy rate of over 90%. #PancChat
A8.2 The Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection (PRECEDE) Consortium established a cohort of individuals with family history of PDAC and/or individuals carrying pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) in genes linked to PDAC risk. clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04970…#PancChat
A8.1 The Cancer of the Pancreas Screening-5 CAPS5)Study, launched in 2014, emphasizes the critical need for regular imaging surveillance among high-risk individuals. This is a longitudinal study that follows high-risk patients for 10 years. clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT02000…#PancChat
A7.1 Investigators in the NCI's Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) and Pancreatic Cancer Detection Consortium (PCDC) have identified many candidate biomarkers, using technologies such as next generation DNA sequencing and radiomics. #PancChat
A6.2 The Lustgarten Foundation has funded The FELIX Program since 2016. The program essentially uses data from thousands of Computer Tomography (CT) scans to teach computers to detect tumors small enough to be missed by even the most experienced radiologists. #PancChat
A6.1 Artificial Intelligence is currently being developed for a wide variety of detection and treatment related applications for pancreatic cancer. #PancChat
A5.1 Standard imaging often fails to identify a majority of small pancreatic cancers because of subtle imaging features, inadequate attention to the pancreas or technical inadequacies. #PancChat
A4.3 Other project goals include identifying targets & therapeutic approaches for disease interception and prevention, clinically testing interception, & optimizing biomarkers enabling early detection in the general population. #PancChat
A4.2 These projects aim to understand the biology of early pancreatic cancer and pre-cancers, develop tools for improved risk assessment and identification of high-risk groups, & identify biomarkers and imaging approaches for PC. #PancChat
A3.3 For people in families at high risk of pancreatic cancer, newer tests for detecting pancreatic cancer early may help. The two most common tests are an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or MRI/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). #PancChat
A3.2 If a patient has a risk factor that can be controlled, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, they should work on making lifestyle changes to prevent PC in the first place. #PancChat
A3.1 Lustgarten is committed to funding the development and delivery of tools to enable early diagnosis of PC, including screening in the general population and approaches for risk assessment, management, and interception in high-risk groups. #PancChat
