Blood test could detect hidden pancreatic tumors
NCT ID NCT05847855
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new blood test that looks at fragments of DNA to find pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors early and tell them apart from other pancreatic tumors. Researchers will collect blood from 1,000 adults with different types of pancreatic tumors to see how accurate the test is. If it works, it could lead to earlier detection and better treatment decisions.
What this could mean

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this blood test could help doctors find pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors earlier and avoid unnecessary surgeries by distinguishing tumor types.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early diagnostic study, not a treatment. The test may not be accurate enough in real-world settings, and results may not apply to all patients.
