Mayo Clinic is one of the few medical centers in the country recognized as a Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) for pancreas cancer research, funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). At the Mayo Clinic Gastrointestinal Cancer Program, pancreatic cancer is being studied for new diagnostic tools, prevention and treatment.
Mayo Clinic is also actively involved in a large NCI-funded multisite study, conducted by the Pancreatic Cancer Genetic Epidemiology (PACGENE) Consortium, looking at the role heredity plays in the disease. To aid this research, Mayo Clinic has created an extensive patient and tissue registry for pancreatic cancer.
