Scientists probe why obesity may drive deadly pancreatic cancer in black americans

NCT ID NCT05687188

Summary

This study aims to understand how obesity might contribute to the development and progression of pancreatic cancer, particularly in African American adults. Researchers will observe and compare biological samples from about 125 adults who are African American or Non-Hispanic White and have a suspected or diagnosed pancreatic tumor. The goal is to learn if fat tissue functions differently in these groups and influences cancer growth, which could guide future treatments.
