NCT ID NCT07161921
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 34 times
Summary
This study looked at whether the bacteria in your gut can help predict if pancreatic cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. Researchers compared stool samples from 55 patients with and without lymph node spread. They found certain gut bacteria and chemicals that were different between the two groups. The goal is to create a simple test to identify high-risk patients before surgery.
