A Pancreatic Cancer Screening Study in Individuals With New-Onset or Deteriorating Diabetes Mellitus
United States800 participantsStarted 2018-01-19
Plain-language summary
The main goal of this study is to explore the relationship between new-onset diabetes mellitus/deteriorating diabetes and a subsequent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) will be utilized to screen for early stage pancreatic cancer or precursor lesions. Participants will be asked to donate a blood sample at specific intervals for the creation of a bio-bank necessary for the development of a blood based screening test for pancreatic cancer.
