About This Study

The purpose of this study is to understand how genes are related to weight loss in people with pancreatic cancer. Weight loss is a common issue for those with pancreatic cancer and can make life more difficult and treatments less useful. We hope to learn how to better treat and help future patients. We are seeking volunteers who have pancreatic cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery.
