The Relationship Between Triceps Skinfold and Overall Survival of Pancreas, Bile Duct, Gallbladder Cancer
In this study, the investigators aim to demonstration of relationship between triceps skinfold thickness and overall survival of pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and GB cancer.
Evaluation of a Mixed Meal Test for Diagnosis and Characterization and Type 3c Diabetes Mellitus Secondary to Pancreatic Cancer and Chronic Pancreatitis (DETECT)
The Coordinating and Data Management Center (CDMC) at MD Anderson Cancer will be responsible for the coordination and data management for the Evaluation of a mixed meal test for Diagnosis and characterization of Type 3c diabetes mellitus secondary to pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis (DETECT), which is part of the …
A Study of Blood Based Biomarkers for Pancreas Adenocarcinoma
The purpose of this study is to develop a minimally invasive test to diagnose pancreatic cancer at early stages of disease and monitor response to treatment.
A Prospective Registry for Patients at High-Risk for Pancreatic Cancer
This study aims to facilitate discovery and validation of tests for early detection in subjects at high risk for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and to facilitate the use of state-of-the-art machine learning-based algorithms that utilize databases and images with the purpose of identifying early stages of pancreatic cancer, as well …
Pre- Vs. Postoperative Thromboprophylaxis in Pancreatic Surgery
Thromboprophylaxis for pancreatic surgery can be commenced either preoperatively or postoperatively. Despite a clear trade-off between thrombosis and bleeding in pancreatic surgery patients, there is no international consensus when thrombosis prophylaxis should be commenced in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. There are no prospective randomized trials in this field, and current …
Improving Pancreatic Cancer Care by the Use of Computational Science and Technology
The goal of the IMPACT project is to set up a data sharing infrastructure between expert centers for pancreatic surgery that enables training, testing and validation of computer science tools to improve quality of care for patients with pancreatic cancer.
Artificial Intelligence-powered Low-Dose Computed Tomography for Screening of Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a poor prognosis, with early diagnosis crucial for improving survival. Due to the absence of effective screening methods, most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages. The population undergoing low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening significantly overlaps with those at high risk for PDAC; however, traditional imaging …
Blood Markers of Early Pancreas Cancer
Identifying biomarkers of early pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) could facilitate screening for individuals at higher than average risk and expedite the diagnosis in individuals with symptoms and substantially improve an individual's chance of surviving the disease. The investigators propose a longitudinal study of subjects at higher than average risk of …
A Liquid Biopsy for Pancreatic Cancer Early-detection and Disease Monitoring
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy characterized by an asymptomatic early phase, late diagnosis, and poor survival, particularly in individuals who develop disease outside the context of early-stage detection. Early detection strategies are currently limited to imaging-based surveillance (MRI and endoscopic ultrasound) in selected high-risk populations, but …
Tissue Procurement for Gastric Cancer, Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST), Esophageal Cancer, Pancreas Cancer, Hepatocellular Cancer, Biliary Cancer, Neuroendocrine, Peritoneal Mesothelioma, Anal Cancer and Colorectal Cancer in Patients Undergoing Surgery or Biopsy
The purpose of this study is to collect and store normal and malignant tissue from patients with gastric cancer, GIST, esophageal cancer, pancreas cancer, hepatocellular cancer, biliary cancer, neuroendocrine, peritoneal mesothelioma, anal cancer and colorectal cancer, an estimated 50 to 100 of each tumor type. To collect and store blood …
