Familial Pancreatic Cancer at Elderly Siblings in Japan. Two female siblings aged 87 and 90 years were clinically diagnosed as pancreatic cancer by abdominal ultrasonography and abdominal contrast-enhanced CT. Pancreatic cancer of these patients was confirmed during the autopsy. Both patients shared risk factors of pancreatic cancer; old age, diabetes, and passive smoking. Strong family history of pancreatic cancer was found in these two patients as their father and younger brother were also suffering from this cancer. The present study seems to report two eldest cases of familial pancreatic cancer in siblings. How to cite this article: Kashimoto Y, Onji M, et al.
