Discovery of Soluble Biomarkers for Pancreatic Cancer Using Innovative All-Patient Inclusive Methodology
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains among cancers with a very poor prognosis (1-year survival <20%). Endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration (EUS/FNA) is the common examination for all patients with suspicious pancreatic mass. A method was recently developed : it preserves the sanitary sample, named EXPEL, which allows standard pathology …
Single-cell Sequencing Analysis of Resectable/Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer Patients
Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy is widely used in treating patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC). However, there are limitations in this field. Treatment strategies and definitions for BRPC patients differ, and the efficacy and prognosis of neoadjuvant chemotherapy vary greatly.This study aims to utilize single-cell sequencing technology to investigate in-depth …
Acquisition of Blood and Tumor Tissue Samples From Patients With Gastrointestinal Cancer
Background Gastrointestinal cancers can occur in the throat, stomach, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, and colon. Researchers are interested in evaluating how active the immune system is in trying to fight the cancer by studying blood and tumor tissue donated from individuals who have been diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers. Objectives To collect …
Rare Subtypes of Gastrointestinal Cancers
A single-arm prospective observational translational study of biomarkers in patients receiving targeted treatment for rare subtypes of cancer of the Gastrointestinal Tract.
Early Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer Duodenal Fluid-Based Biomarker Exploratory Study
Purpose Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cancer-related mortality disease in the United States, with a five-year survival rate of 11%, and only 10 15% of all pancreatic cancer patients are operable or borderline operable. Therefore, there is an unmet need for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer; however, biomarkers related …
JUMP_START - Optimization of Care for Young Cancer Patients with Gastrointestinal Tumors
JUMP_START aims to assess the needs of individuals aged ≤ 50 years with gastrointestinal (GI) tumors and implement a tailored support and counseling program at the University Hospital Heidelberg and the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT). In phase 1A, 12-15 individuals aged ≤ 50 years with GI tumors will …
Construction of Molecular Diagnostic Marker Model for Pancreatic Cystic Tumors Based on Pancreatic Cystic Fluid Samples
The goal of this observational study is to test in patients with cystic tumor of pancreas. The main questions it aims to answer are: Screening of molecular diagnostic markers for pancreatic cystic tumors by cfDNA methylation sequencing of pancreatic cystic fluid and proteomic assays to distinguish benign from malignant and …
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 …
