New biopsy test may predict pancreatic tumor danger
NCT ID NCT06406387
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether checking for two proteins, ATRX and DAXX, in biopsy samples can help predict how aggressive non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-pNETs) are. Researchers will compare biopsy results with surgical tissue from 100 adults to see if the test can guide treatment decisions. The goal is to improve current grading methods and avoid underestimating tumor risk.
