Pancreatic intraductal papillary-mucinous neoplasm

This early study tests if a new, needle-based treatment using brief electric pulses can safely destroy certain pancreatic tumors without surgery. The treatment aims to spare healthy tissue nearby. About 12 adults with specific pancreatic cysts or low-grade tumors will be enrolled…

Researchers are testing whether a previously validated artificial intelligence model can help identify high-grade dysplasia or pancreatic cancer in real time during a procedure called digital per-oral pancreatoscopy. The study enrolls 60 adults who need this procedure for suspect…

This study aims to find molecular clues that could predict whether certain pancreatic growths will turn into cancer. Researchers will analyze tissue from patients having pancreatic surgery, using advanced genetic and protein tests on both the original tissue and lab-grown 3D cell…

This study investigates whether a new ultrasound technology called Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) can accurately analyze material inside pancreatic cysts (PIMPTs) without using a contrast agent. Currently, doctors inject a contrast dye during endoscopic ultrasound to assess c…

This observational study looks at how pancreatic cancer changes immune cells in the blood. Researchers will compare blood samples from 50 people with newly diagnosed, untreated pancreatic cancer to 50 age-matched people with a non-cancerous pancreatic condition. They aim to ident…

This study looks at why some patients develop blood clots after pancreatic surgery that also involves removing a piece of a major vein. Researchers will collect information from over 1,000 patients across many hospitals to see how surgical techniques and blood-thinning medication…

This study looks at whether people with pancreatic cysts (IPMN) also have trouble digesting food due to poor pancreatic function. Researchers will follow 600 adults to see if this digestive problem is linked to cyst growth or cancer risk. The goal is to find a simple test that he…
