Genetic, Microenvironmental, and Immunological Factors in Unresectable Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) complexity, where genetic, stromal, and immunological factors all interact with each other, is responsible for the overall poor response of PDAC to chemotherapeutic agents, making this a lethal disease. The investigators hypothesize that: (i) dissection of genetic, stromal, and immunological factors on endoscopic ultrasound fine needle …
The Microbiome of Pancreatic Cancer: "PANDEMIC" Study
Microbiome in patients affected by pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma may present specific and identifiable patterns. These variations could affect the surgical outcome and increase the risk of life-threatening infections supported by multidrug-resistant bacteria. The identification of microbial signatures with tumor specificity may have a potential role in postoperative risk stratification. Variation …
Mass Response of Tumor Cells As a Biomarker for Rapid Therapy Guidance (TraveraRTGx)
The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera Inc. in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from various specimen formats including malignant fluids such as pleural effusions and ascites, …
Biomarker Study of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours
The biology of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors can change during the disease course. This evolution of disease can manifest through increases in tumor proliferation rate, resistance to medical therapy and/or a change in tumor hormone secretion. This study aims to characterize how the biology of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors change over time, …
68Ga-DOTATOC PET for the Evaluation of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that arise from the endocrine cells of the gastroenteropancreatic tract. The diagnostic work-up of these tumours include Computed Tomography (CT), Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The majority of these tumours express somatostatin receptors on their surface. For this …
Application of "Heidelberg Triangle" Dissection in Pancreatoduodenectomy and Distal Pancreatectomy
Aim of the study : To evaluate the effect and safety of "Heidelberg Triangle" dissection (TRIANGLE operation) combined with Pancreatoduodenectomy or Distal Pancreatectomy on the prognosis of pancreatic cancer and periampullary cancer . Methods : Patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy or Distal Pancreatectomy between 01 September 2016 and 30 December 2022 …
Preventing Viral Pandemic Associated Risk of Cancer Death Using Less Invasive Diagnostic Tests- Liquid Biopsies
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using ctDNA to support cancer diagnosis and risk stratification where invasive aerosol generating testing (and/or tissue biopsy) is challenging due to infection risk, technical impracticalities and resource limitations, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent recovery period.
Tumor Cell and DNA Detection in the Blood, Urine, and Bone Marrow
Patients with resectable solid primary cancers and even limited number of metastases are potentially curable. However, most patients develop recurrences despite surgery. Also, early detection of lung cancer with low dose CT screening may cure patients at an early stage. Circulating and disseminated tumor cell (CTC/DTC) and circulating cell-free (cf) …
DNA Mutation Detection in Circulating Tumor DNA and Tissue by mmADPS for Pancreatic Cancer
Based on the cell free nucleic acid analysis information of blood samples and genetic mutation profile of EUS-FNB tissue from pancreatic cancer, the concordance between them is evaluated. And based on this information, biomarkers for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of pancreatic cancer are explored.
Preliminary Evaluation of Screening for Pancreatic Cancer in Patients With Inherited Genetic Risk
The study is a prospective, observational study evaluating the utility of endoscopic ultrasound or MRI for the identification of preneoplastic and neoplastic pancreatic lesions in patients at high risk for pancreatic cancer, specifically those with BRCA1/2, ATM, or PALB2 mutations.
