Project Summary
Molecular pathological epidemiology (MPE) has contributed to the better understanding of several neoplastic diseases . By connecting putative etiological factors to specific molecular signatures across tumour phenotypes, the MPE approach can yield more accurate risk measures regarding PaC. Towards this broad goal, a case-control study will be conducted first on patients with different types of pancreas cancer and pancreatico-biliary diseases to identify associations among potential risk factors and PaC diagnosis and prognosis.
