NCT ID NCT07274657
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests two new ultrasound techniques to help doctors tell the difference between common pancreatic cancer and other types of pancreatic growths. About 150 adults with a solid pancreatic mass will get these advanced scans. The goal is to see if these methods can improve diagnosis and reduce the need for invasive biopsies.
