Collection of Circulating Biomarkers in Pancreatic Cancer
This protocol will involve collection of blood samples from patients with a diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma for evaluation of circulating biomarkers.
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 …
Evaluation of Endoscopic Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography (EUS-SWE) for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of Shear Wave elastography (SWE) for the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer by Purine Metabolite (Hypoxanthine, Xanthine) in Urine
This study aim to develope a diagnostic method of pancreatic cancer by using a reagent for analyzing purine metabolite (Hypoxanthine, Xanthine) in urine. It is safe and cost effective compare to radiologic or blood test. It can be used for initial screening test for healty population.
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 …
Endoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation of Celiac Ganglion for Pain Management and Improvement of Quality of Life in Patients With Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
This study aims to evaluate the EUS-RFA in terms of efficacy for pain management and improvement in quality-of-life parameters for patients with advanced inoperable pancreatic cancer. The primary objectives of this study are to 1) evaluate the utility of EUS-RFA for pain control and improvement in quality-of-life parameters for patients …
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 …
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.
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.
Evaluating Obesity-Mediated Mechanisms of Pancreatic Carcinogenesis in Minority Populations
This study will evaluate obesity-mediated mechanisms of pancreatic carcinogenesis in minority populations.
