Abstract | |||
The present proposed nested case-control (234 cases and 468 matched controls) study within the PLCO Trial will evaluate the insulin secretion and IGF axis hypotheses and will break new ground evaluating adipocytokines and pancreatic cancer risk. There are other pancreas related nested case control or cohort studies (nutritional, molecular and genetic) ongoing and/or planned for PLCO in the coming year. |
