Quality of Life of Pancreatic Cancer Patients:Psychometric Validation of Chinese Version in Taiwan
This study will investigate the reliability and validity of Chinese version of the quality of life scale in EORTC QLQ-PAN26 and EORTC QLQ-C30 on pancreatic cancer patients in Taiwan
Prospectively Defining Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Subtypes by Comprehensive Genomic Analysis
Researchers are looking for better ways of understanding and treating pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to see how useful it is to look for changes and characteristics in your genes (molecules that contain instructions for the development and functioning of the cells) and the genes within the …
Treatment of Pancreatic Pseudocysts by Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Drainage
Patients may evolve pseudocysts of the pancreas secondary to a severe pancreatitis. In case of a symptomatic or infected pseudocyst, a therapeutic drainage of the cyst is indicated. In modern medicine the preferred way to perform such a drainage is by the means of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). It is not …
Pre- and Post-operative TEG Indices in Patients With or Without Adenocarcinoma Undergoing Surgical Resection
The investigators hypothesize that abnormalities in thromboelastography (TEG) parameters in patients with liver, pancreas, biliary, esophageal, colorectal, and lung adenocarcinoma can serve as biomarkers for oncologic disease burden, cancer recurrence and overall survival as well as thrombotic and hemorrhagic post-operative complications. The investigators further hypothesize that there is histologic pathology …
The Application of DNA Nanomachines for Detecting microRNA in Blood for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer. Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer
Previous research has shown that microRNAs in the blood can serve as biomarkers for early pancreatic cancer, with potential applications including detection, differential diagnosis, and prognosis prediction of pancreatic cancer. The current primary method for detecting microRNAs is RT-qPCR, but this process requires repeated temperature cycling, which demands high precision …
Bio-Repository of High Risk Cohorts for the Early Detection of Pancreas Cancer
Bio-repository to collect bio-specimens from patients with 1) pancreatic cysts and 2) patients at high risk, defined by family history and/or genetic mutations, for pancreatic cancer.
Assessing the Accuracy of Seismofit® as an Estimate of VO2 Peak in Patients With Hepato-pancreato-biliary, Colorectal, and Gastro-oesophageal Cancer
Our study aims to assess the relationship between the Seismofit® derived VO2 peak estimate and CPET-measured VO2 peak in patients who are having CPET as part of their preoperative workup. Our aim is to establish whether Seismofit® can be considered a cheaper, less resource intensive and better tolerated alternative to …
Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer
The purpose of this study is to enable non-invasive early detection of pancreatic cancer in high-risk populations through the establishment of a machine learning model using plasma cell-free DNA fragmentomics. Plasma cell-free DNA from early stage pancreatic cancer patients and healthy individuals will be subjected to whole-genome sequencing. Features, such …
Confirmation of Association Between Cystic Fluid Analysis With Pancreatic Cystic Lesions
Through a comprehensive analysis of the pancreatic cystic fluid analysis, the role of the cystic fluid analysis is confirmed in terms of accurate diagnosis of pancreatic cysts, appropriate prediction of treatment response, and to select proper treatment indication through analytic results.
Pilot Study of Pancreatic Cancer Screening
This study investigates how often abnormal findings from routine magnetic resonance imaging occur in people with genetic mutations in BReast CAncer gene. (BRCA), ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene (ATM), or PALB2 screened for pancreatic cancer. This study may lead to a greater understanding of cancer and potentially, improvements in cancer screening …
