This is an important issue because it seems very likely that a hereditary background increases the risk for a second primary cancer of the pancreas. Here, we describe two high-risk individuals who developed a second primary tumour after a PP of an early-stage cancer. Patient 1 is a 62-year-old woman with the common Dutch ‘p16-Leiden’ founder mutation in the CDKN2A gene and a medical history of melanoma at age 56. This patient was enrolled … ER -
