Description:
The purpose of this initiative is to invite innovative preclinical and clinical R01 applications to determine how dietary energy intake and bioactive food components, including alcohol, influence pancreatic cancer development and prevention. This PA seeks to encourage collaboration between nutritional scientists and cancer biologists, oncologists and gastroenterologists to jointly examine key mechanisms in the pancreatic cancer process (e.g., carcinogen metabolism, cell division, differentiation, apoptosis) in order to begin to establish mechanistic links between quantity and form of energy consumed and/or bioactive food component intakes with pancreatic tumor incidence and behavior. The linkage between diet and pancreatic cancer comes from its long-recognized interrelationships with diabetes and obesity, and thus with caloric intake and expenditure. This PA seeks to expand research that will clarify the importance of diet-related energetics and bioact!
ive food components in pancreatic cancer prevention.
