Summary

This study tested whether it is safe and possible to collect a 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 in the blood) to learn more about the disease. The study did not offer a treatment, but aimed to improve understanding of how pancreatic cancer spreads.
