Summary

This study is testing a new breath test to help detect pancreatic cancer earlier. Pancreatic cancer is hard to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to common illnesses. The test looks for tiny molecules in the breath that are made by cancer cells. Researchers will study about 6,000 people who have been referred for possible pancreatic cancer to see how accurate the test is. If successful, this simple, non-invasive test could help doctors identify which patients need further testing, leading to earlier diagnosis and better treatment options.
