New scan could guide treatment for tough pancreatic cancer

NCT ID NCT03851237

Summary

This study tested a new type of PET scan designed to see pancreatic cancer in a new way. The goal was to see if this scan could help doctors predict which patients would respond to standard chemotherapy or to a newer type of targeted therapy. The trial involved 69 adults with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to see if the imaging could match up with what was found in surgery and predict treatment success.
