Project Supervisors

Professor Rachel Neale

Senior Group Leader

Background

In some people, diabetes in later life is caused by an undiagnosed pancreatic cancer. It is not known, however, whether screening people with new-onset diabetes would reduce pancreatic cancer mortality.


Aim

The PaC-NOD Pilot Study aims to test the feasibility of conducting a large-scale randomised controlled trial of screening people with new-onset diabetes using CT scans


Approach

The project will primarily include qualitative methods, with some relatively simple quantitative analyses included.


Project Potential

This project will determine whether a large-scale screening trial is feasible.
