Does a 3D model predict treatment response better than CT for pancreatic cancer?
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special 3D scan can better tell if treatment has shrunk the tumor in people with pancreatic cancer. It may help your doctors decide if surgery is a good option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer in the head of the pancreas.
- You have received treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy).
- You are scheduled to have surgery to try to remove the tumor.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a CT scan before surgery.

This trial uses a special MRI scan called 3D MRE to see how well people with pancreatic cancer might do. It looks at the stiffness of the tumor and surrounding tissue to help predict outcomes.
This study is testing a new way to make 3D models in the lab that look like your specific tumor. The goal is to better understand pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and find personalized treatments.
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 trial tests whether a special MRI scan can help doctors better plan treatment for people with pancreatic cancer that is borderline able to be removed by surgery. The study will check how the tumor responds to initial treatment before surgery.
This study is testing a new MRI technique that may help predict how well pancreatic cancer treatments will work. You would receive a special substance (called hyperpolarized pyruvate) during a standard MRI scan.
This study is testing a computer program called PANDA that looks at routine CT scans of the chest or belly to check the pancreas. If you have already had a CT scan that includes your pancreas and it was a clear picture, you may be able to help improve this AI tool.
