P16: Your worry would be warranted if you have several family members who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer or are known to carry a p16 gene mutation. In the absence of these, you don't have much cause to worry.

I worry about: Pancreas cancer because i'm over 60, and in the peak age. Unless there is a strong family history, it is not at all likely for a 20 year to have pancreas cancer.
