Abstract | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To answer several important clinical questions, the Consortium for the study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes, and Pancreatic Cancer (CPDPC) research consortium has established several ongoing clinical cohort studies focused on pancreatitis in adults and children, pancreatic cancer, and diabetes associated with pancreatic disease. These will provide a unique resource for clinical and basic science research into these hard-to-treat diseases. RECENT FINDINGS: SUMMARY: These large prospective patient cohorts, established and followed up by the CPDPC, provide a unique resource to improve the care of patients of all ages with pancreatitis, and to allow earlier diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
