Pesticide link to pancreatic cancer investigated in small study
NCT ID NCT04429490
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether organochlorine pesticides, which build up in body fat over time, are more common in people with pancreatic cancer. Researchers compared fat and urine samples from 56 patients undergoing surgery—some with pancreatic cancer and some without. The goal was to see if higher pesticide levels were linked to the disease.
