Clinical Trial: In-Depth Characterisation of Biliary Strictures and Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Focal Lesions for Development of New Technologies to Tackle Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Cancers

U.S., Oct. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07206355) titled 'In-Depth Characterisation of Biliary Strictures and Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Focal Lesions for Development of New Technologies to Tackle Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Cancers' on Sept. 25.

Brief Summary: Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) cancers originating in the liver, bile ducts, pancreas, and gall bladder represent a rising global health challenge, with incidence doubling in the UK over the past decade. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and pancreatic cancer are particularly aggressive, often detected late due to non-specific symptoms and difficulties in sampling or imaging. In the UK, CCA affects around 3,000 people annually, with only 13% survi...
