<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/dispomim.cgi?id=219700">This site</a> has info on many symptoms of CF. If you scroll down to the heading 'carcinoma' it has some information about the relation of CF and cancer. The site is very dense though so if you don't want to read through it all, I think this quote sums it up pretty well:
"Neglia et al. (1995) performed a retrospective cohort study of the occurrence of cancer in 28,511 patients with cystic fibrosis from 1985 through 1992 in the United States and Canada. The number of cases observed was compared with the number expected, calculated from population-based data on the incidence of cancer. They also analyzed proportional incidence ratios to assess the association between specific cancers and cystic fibrosis in Europe. The final results indicated that although the overall risk of cancer in patients with cystic fibrosis is similar to that of the general population, there is an increased risk of digestive tract cancers. They recommended that persistent or unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms in CF patients should be carefully investigated."
So basically, it's like Lauren said: if you have a family history get screened, but don't lose sleep over it.

Yes, pretty much any pancreatic disorder puts you at risk, plus there can be genetic factors. One thing you guys should know though is that a high-vegetable/high-fiber can all but eliminate your chances of getting pancreatic cancer, even if you have a genetic pre-disposition.
I'm an advocate of eating healthy, high calorie foods, and not so much crappy fast food all the time. Things like nuts are great high-calorie, high-fat, and high-fiber foods.
