Early detection saves lives. At Oasis Advanced Gastroenterology, we provide comprehensive pancreatic cancer screening and prevention services to identify risks before they develop into advanced disease. Trust us to protect your long-term health through personalized, evidence-based care.
Pancreatic cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. By the time signs such as abdominal pain, jaundice, or unexplained weight loss appear, the disease is often advanced. Screening allows for earlier detection, when treatment options are more effective and outcomes are more favorable.
Our board-certified gastroenterologist, Dr. Mehrdad Asgeri, leads a skilled medical team that uses the latest diagnostic tools to evaluate your pancreatic health. Patients at higher risk due to family history, genetic factors, or certain medical conditions benefit most from regular screening.
You may be a candidate for pancreatic cancer screening if you have:
Our team can help determine your level of risk and develop a monitoring plan tailored to your needs.

While not all cases can be prevented, certain lifestyle changes and medical interventions can lower your risk. Our preventive care program focuses on:
Prevention starts with precision at Oasis Advanced Gastroenterology, where our expertise in pancreatic and gallbladder care is backed by advanced endoscopic and imaging technology. We take a compassionate, patient-centered approach, creating personalized screening schedules tailored to your unique risk profile.
Your health is always our priority, whether you need a one-time screening or ongoing surveillance. From your first appointment to follow-up care, we ensure clear communication and exceptional service at every stage.
Screening may include advanced imaging such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or MRI, along with other diagnostic tools to evaluate the pancreas. These tests are designed to detect changes at the earliest possible stage, often before symptoms appear.
Most screening procedures are minimally invasive and well-tolerated. For example, endoscopic ultrasound is performed under sedation to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
The frequency of screening depends on your individual risk profile. Some people may benefit from annual screening, while others require more frequent monitoring. Our team will create a personalized schedule tailored to your needs.
While screening cannot always prevent pancreatic cancer, it can detect precancerous changes or very early-stage cancers when treatment is most effective. Early detection offers the best chance for successful outcomes.
Risk factors include family history, genetic mutations, smoking, chronic pancreatitis, obesity, and certain metabolic conditions. Understanding your risk is the first step toward prevention and early detection.
Coverage varies depending on your health plan and risk factors. Our office can assist you in verifying your benefits and understanding any out-of-pocket costs before scheduling your screening.
