Genetic testing for pancreatic cancer screening: ready for prime time?

Genetic testing is ready for prime time in PDAC screening. It stratifies patients into low-risk (no surveillance) and high-risk (surveillance warranted) groups, improving early detection, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness, thus transforming PDAC prognosis through targeted intervention.
