Scientists track Cancer's DNA trail during surgery

NCT ID NCT03435536

Summary

This study aimed to understand if the act of surgically removing a pancreatic tumor causes tumor DNA to be released into the patient's bloodstream. Researchers tracked 35 patients with operable pancreatic cancer, taking blood samples before, during, and for a year after surgery. The goal was to see if these DNA levels could help doctors better monitor patients and predict outcomes after the tumor is removed.
