Pancreatic biopsy study using ultrasound guidance
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks back at people who had a pancreas biopsy between 2017 and 2023 to study how well the biopsy methods worked. It may help doctors choose the best way to get tissue from the pancreas in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a biopsy (tissue sample) taken from a spot on your pancreas between January 2017 and December 2023.
- You had at least 12 months of follow-up care after the biopsy.
- You were not lost to follow-up (meaning your doctors were able to keep in touch with you).
- You have complete follow-up records (no missing important information).
- Your biopsy was not done during surgery, and it was not just fluid removal (it was a tissue sample).

This study follows how pancreatic cancer changes over time while you’re receiving treatment before surgery. It may help doctors understand how the cancer evolves and guide better future treatment choices.
This trial studies metastatic pancreatic cancer by taking a small tissue sample and analyzing its genes. It may help doctors better understand which cancer subtypes patients have, which can guide future treatment choices.
This study tests a new imaging procedure called LINFU® that may help doctors better detect pancreatic cancer. You may join if you have symptoms or an abnormal scan that suggests pancreatic cancer, and you're scheduled for a biopsy.
This study uses small pancreatic cancer samples grown in the lab to understand which treatments may work best for people with pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better “profile” tumors so standard care can be matched to the most effective options.
This trial tests two different ways of using a special needle to take a tissue sample from a pancreatic mass during an endoscopic ultrasound procedure. It aims to see which technique works best for getting a clear diagnosis.
This trial compares different suction techniques when using a special needle to take tissue samples from a solid pancreas mass during an endoscopic ultrasound. It aims to find the best way to get high-quality samples for diagnosis.
