Pancreatic Cancer Dietary Assessment Study

"Pancreo-Kit (Isomed Pharma, Madrid, Spain) is a breath test devised to measure Pancreatic Enzyme Insufficiency. It is a non-invasive method to obtain information about the digestion of consumed lipids; this in turn is informative about the exocrine enzyme activity of the pancreas (specifically pancreatic lipase). This kit is manufactured to EC directive 98/79/EEC and carries the CE mark.~The test is based on measurement of 13C which is a stable naturally occurring environmental isotope of carbon with a nucleus containing 6 protons and 7 neutrons (note, it is not radioactive)."
