Microplastics in the pancreas and their health effects
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles in the pancreas affect health. If you're having pancreatic surgery, the study will examine a sample of your pancreas to see if microplastics are present and how they relate to your condition.
