Could recycled blood be safe for pancreatic cancer surgery? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07598357
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether it is safe to give patients their own salvaged red blood cells back during surgery for pancreatic cancer. About 40 adults will take part, and researchers will track infections and other complications within the first week after surgery. The goal is to see if this approach is as safe as using donated blood.
