This study investigates pancreatic cancer. It focuses on using portal venous blood to develop new ways to diagnose pancreatic cancer.
Researchers will look at different markers in the blood to see if they can find better ways to tell the difference between cancerous and non-cancerous pancreatic masses.
- Who can participate: Participants aged 18 to 75 who have a solid pancreatic mass based on imaging tests can join. They must have a lesion larger than 1 cm and provide consent.
- Study details: Participants will have portal vein blood collected using ultrasound endoscopic puncture. Peripheral blood samples will also be collected for analysis. The study will evaluate new markers for diagnosing pancreatic cancer.
