JCO Precision Oncology Conversations

JCO PO author Dr. Bryson Katona shares insights into the JCO PO article, "Longitudinal Pancreatic Imaging Findings in BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, and PALB2 Heterozygotes Undergoing Pancreatic Cancer Surveillance: A Prospective PRECEDE Consortium Study." Host Dr. Rafeh Naqash and Dr. Katona discuss how, in this largest reported cohort of BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, and PALB2 heterozygotes undergoing PC surveillance imaging, benign/low-risk pancreatic imaging findings were common and stable on short-term follow-up, providing important data for counseling these HRIs.
