From the site of the PDF summary: "A workshop on "Nutritional Links to Plausible Mechanisms Underlying Pancreatic Cancer, cosponsored by the Division of Cancer Prevention's (DCP) Nutritional Science Research Group (NSRG) and Cancer Biomarkers Research Group (CBRG) was held on December 3, 2002 in Bethesda, MD. The workshop provided an opportunity for representatives from the extramural research community (not part of NIH), intramural scientists from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) to discuss data and exchange ideas." The goals of this workshop were: to identify gaps in knowledge about how nutritional status and the use of bioactive food components may affect pancreatic carcinogenesis. develop a research agenda to illuminate key interactions between dietary factors and genetic variables including identification of candidate biomarkers that are indicative of disease and nutritional risk.
