This study investigates pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this study is to develop a non-invasive breath test to detect small molecules called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may be altered by pancreatic cancers.
The study evaluates the effectiveness of this breath test in identifying patients who may have pancreatic cancer. This could assist general practitioners in deciding which patients might need further specialized testing for pancreatic cancer.
- Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and older, including both males and females, can participate. Participants must have either confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, new-onset diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, or non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms with a normal pancreas.
- Study details: Participants will provide breath samples after fasting and rinsing their mouth. The samples will be collected using a special bag and analyzed.
