MRE for Diagnosis of Pancreatic Masses
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) accounts for 85-95% of pancreatic cancer and is one of the deadliest tumors in the world, with a survival rate of less than 8%, and identifying key prognostic or predictive factors facilitates risk stratification and prospective assessment in clinical trials. The extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding PDAC …
Preoperative EUS Elastography for Pancreatic Texture and POPF Prediction After PD
This prospective study evaluates whether preoperative endoscopic ultrasound elastography (EUS-E) can predict pancreatic texture during surgery and risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) in 100 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. EUS-E measures pancreatic stiffness preoperatively. Intraoperative texture ("soft" or "hard") is assessed by surgeons blinded to EUS-E results. POPF is graded using …
Radio-opaque Contrast Agents for Liver Cancer Targeting With KIM During Radiation Therapy
This observational study will investigate the properties of image files standardly collected during radiation therapy treatment in a cross-section of liver cancer patients who received stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR) after trans-catheter arterial chemo emobilisation (TACE). Specifically, it will determine whether the radio-opaque contrast agents in the image files …
Cell-Free DNA Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) for Diagnosing Cancer
The goal of this research is to use chromatin immunoprecipitation, a method used to study protein-DNA interaction, as a tool to diagnose and prognose pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in human samples. This is a Non-Human Subject Research study. All participants are de-identified.
Multicenter Study of Circulating Tumor DNA in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer Using a Personalized Panel
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study to evaluate the utility of the Invitae Personalized Cancer MonitoringTM assay for patients with resectable and unresectable pancreatic cancer. Using tumor tissue, a personalized blood test (the Invitae Personalized Cancer MonitoringTM test) will be developed that can be used for repeated monitoring to …
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.
Microbial Diversity of Pancreatic Diseases
This study plans to analyze the digestive flora structure of the group of patients with pancreatic cancer. The investigators compared the microflora of pancreatic cancer with other pancreatic diseases and healthy people，in order to obtatin the information of microbial community difference among the different groups. Finally，the investigators hope to identify …
Cross-sectional Survey on Palliative Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer Patient
It is a real-world observational cross-sectional follow-up study on clinical palliative care for pancreatic cancer patients in China. It is evaluated by an online questionnaire sent to the doctors from the General Surgery Department in more than 100 public tertiary teaching hospitals and about 350 public primary care units in …
Pancreatic Cancer Genetics
The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the three most common BReast CAncer gene 1 (BRCA1) and BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA2) genetic mutations that are commonly found in Ashkenazi Jewish patients with pancreatic cancer. Testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in relatives of hereditary pancreatic …
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
