Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study investigates the relationship between triceps skinfold thickness and overall survival in pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and gallbladder cancer.

The focus is on understanding how triceps skinfold thickness correlates with patient survival, compared to traditional measures like BMI.

  • Who can participate: Patients diagnosed with pancreatic, bile duct, or gallbladder cancer undergoing treatment, and who are over 18 years old.
  • Study details: Participants will have their triceps skinfold thickness measured to study its association with survival outcomes.
