The goal of this study is to establish a platform for development and implementation of a data-driven risk model for detection of early stage pancreatic cancer within an integrated health care setting. Patients at increased risk for pancreatic cancer as identified by the risk model will be invited to participate in a prospective study to assess the accuracy of this approach for detection of early stage pancreatic cancer.
