Pancreatic cancer and diabetes risk after surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies how pancreatic cancer affects blood sugar and the risk of developing diabetes after surgery. Patients who have their pancreas removed will provide blood and tissue samples to help understand this link.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a Chinese man or woman.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have pancreatic cancer and your doctor plans to remove part or all of your pancreas.
- You have not been diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes before, and your blood sugar and A1C levels are normal.
- You are not pregnant, nursing, or taking medicines that could cause diabetes.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies pancreatic islets (cells that make insulin) from people who are having part or all of their pancreas removed. It may help researchers learn more about how the pancreas works in health and disease.
This study looks at how tiny particles in blood (“exosomes”) carry signals between cells in people having pancreatic surgery. The goal is to understand these signals in different pancreatic conditions and treatment situations, which may help future care.
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 trial is for people who had surgery for pancreatic cancer and are now deciding on maintenance therapy. A special blood test (ctDNA) may help doctors choose the best follow-up treatment to prevent the cancer from coming back.
This study uses a special blood-sugar test (a mixed meal) to better diagnose and understand diabetes related to pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis, and to compare it with other diabetes types. It may help researchers find clearer ways to tell these diabetes causes apart and understand how they work.
This study follows patients with diabetes who are having surgery to remove part or all of their pancreas (usually for cancer or benign disease). Researchers will track how the surgery affects blood sugar control, weight, and overall health over time.
