A study looking at blood, urine and tissue samples to help diagnose pancreatic cancer, neuroendocrine tumours of the pancreas and bile duct cancer (ADEPTS)

Overview

Cancer types:

Bile duct cancer, Biliary tree cancers, Neuroendocrine tumour (NET), Pancreatic cancer

Status:

Open

Phase:

Phase 2

Details

In this study, doctors and researchers want to look at blood, urine and tissue samples from people who have symptoms similar to those with:

pancreatic cancer
neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the pancreas
bile duct cancer

In most cases such symptoms are caused by many other benign conditions. But it is important to make sure that those that are due to cancer, are diagnosed early. They hope the results of this study will help them develop new tests to diagnose pancreatic cancer and NETs of the pancreas at an early stage. This study was formerly known as TRANSBIL.
