Summary
This study tested whether it is safe and possible to collect a small blood sample from the portal vein (a major liver blood vessel) during a routine endoscopic ultrasound in 23 people with pancreatic cancer. The goal was to find and count circulating tumor cells (cancer cells that have broken away from the tumor) in that blood sample. The study did not offer a treatment, but aimed to improve understanding of how pancreatic cancer spreads.
