Bio-repository to collect bio-specimens from patients with 1) pancreatic cysts and 2) patients at high risk, defined by family history and/or genetic mutations, for pancreatic cancer.

Detailed description

Observational study to collect bio-specimens from 2 separate patient cohorts identified to be at high risk for subsequent development of pancreas cancer. 1. Patients diagnosed with a pancreatic cyst undergoing either endoscopic ultrasound or surgery. Bio-specimens collected include pancreatic cyst fluid and blood. These will be collected using a standard operating protocol. 2. Patients defined as a high risk individual for pancreas cancer by family history and/or known genetic mutations.
