Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Parminder Dhingra, M.D. [2] In the general population, screening of large groups is not currently considered effective, although newer techniques, and the screening of tightly targeted groups, are being evaluated.[1][2] Nevertheless, regular screening with endoscopic ultrasound and MRI/CT imaging is recommended for pancreatic cancer in high risk individuals
