New imaging tool could forecast pancreatic cancer survival
NCT ID NCT06849063
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a special MRI technique called 3D-MRE can measure the stiffness of pancreatic tumors to help predict how the disease will progress. Researchers will enroll 200 adults with pancreatic cancer and compare imaging results with actual tumor hardness and treatment responses. The goal is to develop a non-invasive way to guide treatment decisions, not to test a new therapy.
