Blood test may spot pancreatic cancer early, study hopes
NCT ID NCT06397846
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find blood-based biomarkers that can distinguish malignant pancreatic lesions from benign ones. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 100 adults with benign pancreatic conditions and compare them to existing data from patients with pancreatic cancer. The goal is to develop a clinical test that helps doctors diagnose pancreatic cancer earlier and more accurately.
