Data combo could forecast pancreatic Cancer's next move
NCT ID NCT07561814
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study looks at whether combining CT scans, blood tests, and pathology reports can more accurately predict how pancreatic cancer will progress. Researchers will collect existing medical records from about 1,030 participants who had surgery for pancreatic cancer. Participants will not receive any extra tests or treatments, but will get a follow-up call every 3 months for up to 3 years. The goal is to improve estimates of survival and cancer recurrence risk.

Who is studied
The study population will be drawn from patients receiving surgical treatment for pancreatic cancer at two academic medical centers in China: the Department of Pancreatic Surgery, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University (Shanghai) and the Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University (Changsha). The retrospective cohort includes patients diagnosed between January 2023 and December 2025, identified from hospital electronic health records. The prospective cohort will comprise newly diagnosed patients enrolled consecutively. Both cohorts originate from the same clinical settings, representing a tertiary hospital-based population with consistent diagnostic and treatment standards.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. * Availability of preoperative and postoperative contrast-enhanced CT images at the participating center; patient records include corresponding clinical data, postoperative pathological reports, and preoperative and postoperative blood test results. * Underwent surgical treatment for pancreatic cancer at a participating center of this study. Exclusion Criteria: * Age \< 18 years (minors). * Presence of other severe diseases (e.g., severe liver or kidney failure, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, malignancies other than pancreatic cancer); pregnant or breastfeeding women; individuals with mental illness; * patients unable to comply with follow-up or provide informed consent. * Presence of significant outliers (e.g., laboratory values exceeding 10 times the normal range without clinically reasonable explanation) or samples with excessive missing data.
