Summary

This completed study looked at 300 people with pancreatic cancer to see if changes in a certain type of tumor cell in the blood (called mesenchymal CTCs) could predict how well they respond to treatment before surgery. Researchers tracked these cells over time and compared them to survival outcomes. The goal was to find a simple blood test that helps doctors personalize treatment, but the study was observational and did not test a new treatment itself.
