The propensity to develop a cancerous tendency is an inherited trait so be on the lookout for it. A regular check up should allow you to preclude the chance of missing a change. Best wishes

There are several kinds of pancreatic cancer. Some run in families and others do not. But rare to do so. Discuss with his Drs and yours.
