Genetic clues may predict pancreatic cancer treatment success

NCT ID NCT03977233

Summary

This study is testing whether genetic analysis of pancreatic tumors can predict how well patients respond to chemotherapy before surgery. Researchers will give 45 patients with non-metastatic pancreatic cancer a standard chemotherapy combination called FOLFIRINOX, then analyze tumor samples before and after treatment. The goal is to see if certain genetic tumor types respond better to this treatment, potentially making surgery more successful and preventing cancer recurrence.
