Pancreatic Cancer Research needs your help!
If you know someone with a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, we need you. Currently, pancreatic problems are hard to diagnose, and there is no quick test.
The ASPERT research group (based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, with team members worldwide) has developed a set of simple diagnostic questions. We hope these questions will help health professionals diagnose pancreatic problems faster (so treatment can be started sooner).
To move this research forward, we need Kiwis with a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer to fill out two short online questionnaires and provide a stool sample.

This valuable research project has the potential to positively impact many lives - in Canterbury and beyond. The project will be seeking study participants until the end of 2027.
