What this study is

The purpose of this study is to develop a minimally invasive test to diagnose pancreatic cancer at early stages of disease and monitor response to treatment.

What's being tested

  • Blood Draw

    Intervention · DIAGNOSTIC TEST

    If clinically safe, up to approximately 50ml of blood will be drawn, not to exceed the following criteria: Patients and controls weighing 50kg or more * For draw amounts up to 50mL, there is no required hemoglobin threshold. * For amounts exceeding 50mL, patients who meet standard blood banking criteria (e.g., hemoglobin values within normal limits and minimum weight of 50kg) may give as much as a full unit of blood (500mL) at one time or in divided fractions over a 56 day/eight week period. Patients and controls weighing < 50kg * For patients whose hemoglobin is below normal limits but at least 7.0 gm/dL, no more than a total of 50 ml of blood or 5 ml/kg, whichever is less, may be collected per 56 day/eight week period, but no more than approximately 2 ml/kg of blood at any one time.

  • Tumor Tissue Collection

    Intervention · DIAGNOSTIC TEST

    Tumor tissue will be obtained by already planned biopsy, either at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center or elsewhere

  • Cyst Fluid

    Intervention · DIAGNOSTIC TEST

    Cyst fluid will be obtained by already planned biopsy, either at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center or elsewhere
