Blood cell changes may predict pancreatic cancer survival

NCT ID NCT07329920

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 300 people with pancreatic cancer to see if changes in a specific type of tumor cell in the blood (called mesenchymal circulating tumor cells) could predict how well they respond to treatment and how long they live. Researchers tracked these cells over time in patients receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The goal was to find a simple blood test that helps doctors personalize treatment and predict outcomes.
