Pancreatic cancer genetics under the microscope: new study aims to predict risk
NCT ID NCT03060720
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at people with pancreatic cancer to find genetic factors that may increase risk. Researchers will collect medical and family history and test for gene mutations. The goal is to build a tool that can better identify who is at risk for this disease. 271 participants are enrolled, and the study is active but no longer recruiting.
