Pancreatic cancer
The CUP database is continuously being kept up-to-date with papers published on pancreatic cancer. The updated evidence is expected to be discussed by the CUP Panel in 2012 and a report of the latest findings and a summary containing the Panel's judgements are expected to be published later in 2012.
The protocol for reviewing the evidence can be downloaded from our resource downloads section.
Two journal papers based on the latest evidence in the CUP database have been published.
Database
There were 194 papers on pancreatic cancer from cohort studies in the database by August 2011. The most active area of research continues to be body mass index. Other areas of research are much less active, however in recent years there have been papers on carbohydrate, sugars, height and change in body composition.
