German National Case Collection for familial pancreatic Cancer (FaPaCa) - acceptance and psychological aspects of a pancreatic cancer screening program

ConclusionLess than 50% of IAR regularly participate in a proposed PDAC screening program, although the associated psychological burden is quite low. Physicians should be educated about high risk PDAC groups and screening recommendations. Time and travel efforts must be reduced to encourage more IAR to participate in a recommended screening.
