This study investigates pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to identify markers in blood and urine that could help in diagnosing pancreatic cancer earlier.
Researchers are evaluating the contents of extracellular vesicles, called exosomes, from patients with pancreatic cancer. They are looking into how these exosomes might relate to the cancer stage and their potential as diagnostic markers.
- Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and older with pancreatic cancer eligible for endoscopy with biopsy sampling can participate.
- Study details: Participants will provide blood, urine, and tissue samples, with tissue obtained through a fine needle biopsy during an echoendoscopic exam.
