Early detection of pancreatic cancer in people with pancreatic cysts
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at using MRI scans to find pancreatic cancer early in people who have certain types of pancreatic cysts that may raise their risk. If you have these cysts, joining could help catch any cancer sooner, when it might be easier to treat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a type of pancreatic cyst called TIPMP that is considered intermediate or high risk.
- You are able to give your consent to participate.
- You are covered by a health insurance plan (like Social Security in France).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have any reason that would make an MRI unsafe for you.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a special MRI scan and blood tests to see if they can detect early pancreatic cancer in people with high-risk pancreatic cysts called IPMNs. It may help identify cancer earlier, when treatment is more likely to work.
This study compares different ways to monitor pancreatic cysts and also measures blood or other test markers to see which approach is more helpful. It may help patients by finding the safest, most effective way to track certain cysts that could otherwise be hard to manage.
This study follows people with small, low-risk pancreatic cysts to see if they can be safely monitored without surgery. It aims to confirm that watching these cysts closely is a good alternative to immediate treatment.
This study collects information from people who have an IPMN cyst in the pancreas to help predict who may be at higher risk of pancreatic cancer. It may help your care team estimate risk and plan follow-up more effectively.
This study uses MRI scans to screen for pancreas cancer in people at high risk due to family history or certain gene mutations. It aims to see if MRI can help find cancer early.
