Clinical Study Evaluating the Effect of Losartan

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pancreatic Cancer

In brief

The pancreas is two organs packaged into one. The islets of Langerhans serve critical endocrine functions, and the exocrine portion is a major source of enzymes that are essential for digestion. Pancreatic cancer (PC) is more commonly referred to as pancreatic infiltrating ductal adenocarcinoma in addition to being the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, after lung cancer in 2020. Whereas pancreatic cancer is the seventh cause of death from cancer in Asia in 2020. Although it is substantially less common than the other malignancies, pancreatic carcinoma is near the top of the list of killers because it is a highly aggressive carry.
