Investigating Obesity and Pancreatic Cancer in Minority Populations

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study investigates pancreatic cancer in minority populations. It focuses on how obesity might affect the development of this condition.

The study evaluates the role of body fat in the progression of pancreatic cancer and its impact on treatment outcomes. Researchers will look for specific biological markers and imaging profiles related to obesity.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 or older who identify as African American or Non-Hispanic White and have a clinical suspicion or diagnosis of a pancreatic tumor can participate.
  • Study details: Participants will undergo various tests to study the relationship between obesity and pancreatic cancer. An inactive substance, called a placebo, may be used for comparison during the study.
