New risk score aims to predict which pancreatic tumors will return after surgery
NCT ID NCT07695532
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a simple risk score to identify patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) who are at high risk of their cancer returning after surgery. Current methods are not very good at predicting individual risk. Researchers will analyze data from over 550 patients who had surgery to remove their PanNETs, looking for factors linked to recurrence. The goal is to develop a tool that doctors can use to personalize follow-up care and treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this risk score could help doctors personalize follow-up and treatment for patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study developing a predictive tool, not testing a treatment. The score may not be accurate for all patients or may not improve outcomes.
