Scientists track genetic clues to deadly pancreatic cancer

NCT ID NCT01983410

Summary

This study aims to understand why some people with BRCA or PALB2 gene mutations develop pancreatic cancer. Researchers are creating a registry (a database) of 600 people, including those with pancreatic cancer who carry these mutations, their relatives, and control groups. The goal is to collect blood and tissue samples for future research to uncover patterns and risk factors.
