About this trial

This study investigates how often abnormal findings from routine magnetic resonance imaging occur in people with genetic mutations in BReast CAncer gene. (BRCA), ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene (ATM), or PALB2 screened for pancreatic cancer. This study may lead to a greater understanding of cancer and potentially, improvements in cancer screening and treatment.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Documentation of pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline BRCA 1 and 2, ATM or PALB2 germline genetic mutation

No strong family history of pancreatic cancer (defined as having >= 1 first-degree or second-degree relative with a history of pancreatic cancer)

Documentation of pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline BRCA 1 and 2, ATM, or PALB2 germline genetic mutation

Disqualifiers

Prior or active pancreatic cancer.

Pregnant women are excluded from this study because effects of an MRI on developing fetus is unknown.
