Study of factors that predict outcomes for certain pancreas tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at what features of certain pancreas and nearby tumors or cysts might help predict outcomes. It uses existing medical records (and consent, if applicable) and may help doctors better estimate prognosis for patients in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were advised to have surgery for a pancreas tumor or cyst, or a tumor near the pancreas
- Your medical records are available in the study’s electronic journal files
- If you are participating directly, you can provide informed consent
- If the study includes past (retrospective) cases, the consent requirement may be handled for patients who have died

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people with borderline-resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer to see how treatment choices affect survival, quality of life, and whether tumors can be removed by surgery. It may help doctors better predict who can benefit from surgical approaches and what outcomes matter most to patients.
This study looks at pancreatic cancer patients who undergo planned surgery and how surgery-related factors relate to outcomes. It especially focuses on pre-surgery CT scans and the “margin” status from the pathology report, which may help doctors better plan treatment.
This study looks at “tumor regulatory molecules,” which are substances that may be released by cancer, to improve early pancreatic cancer detection. You may join if you have early, localized pancreatic cancer that can be treated with surgery, or certain pancreatic cysts/fluid collections where doctors are investigating further.
This study looks at patients who have been referred for evaluation of a pancreatic cyst. It aims to improve how doctors estimate risk and predict how cysts may change over time.
This study builds a computer model to predict how well pancreatic cancer patients will respond to surgery and what their long-term outcomes might be. Researchers use CT scans, blood tests, and medical records from patients who had pancreatic cancer surgery to teach the model to recognize patterns that help predict outcomes.
This study collects information from adults who have surgery for pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better understand outcomes and improve future care.
