“…To further improve the early detection of pancreatic cancer, there is an urgent need for accurate and inexpensive biomarkers. In this issue, Goggins [ 46 ] offers a thorough review of the currently available biomarkers including imaging biomarkers, circulating biomarkers, and those found in cyst fluid, pancreatic juice and urine. The ultimate goal of such biomarkers is to detect cancer early enough to improve survival rates.…”

In the 1990s, as prevention became a central strategy in the battle against cancer and the molecular genetics revolution uncovered the genetic basis of numerous hereditary cancer syndromes, there were no options available for patients at increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer. When surveillance efforts for those at familial and hereditary risk of pancreatic cancer emerged in the late 1990s, it was uncertain if early detection was achievable.In this introduction to the special issue, we offer an overview of the history of surveillance for pancreatic cancer, including the first reports of familial pancreatic cancer in the medical literature, the initial results of surveillance in the United States and the initiation of surveillance programs for hereditary pancreatic cancer in the Netherlands.This special issue features a collection of 18 articles written by prominent experts in the field, focusing specifically on refining surveillance methodologies with the primary objective of improving care of high-risk individuals. Several reviews in this collection highlight improved survival rates associated with pancreas surveillance, underlying the potential of early detection and improved management in the continuing fight against pancreatic cancer.
