New ultrasound imaging for pancreas and thyroid
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests new ultrasound methods to better see the pancreas and thyroid. It includes people at high risk for pancreatic cancer, those with pancreatic cancer, those with a thyroid nodule, and healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You may join if you are at high risk for pancreatic cancer due to family history or genetic mutations, or if you have pancreatic cancer or a thyroid nodule that needs a biopsy.
- You must be at least 18 years old (some groups have higher age minimums based on condition).
- You cannot be pregnant or nursing.
- If you are in the high-risk group, you need to meet specific family history or genetic criteria (like having two affected relatives or a gene mutation).
- You must be able to give informed consent.

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.
This study is collecting information from people who may have pancreatic cancer to see how a new ultrasound imaging technique (called LINFU) works for helping doctors decide whether a biopsy is needed. Participation could provide better imaging to guide your care.
This study looks at how doctors use endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to diagnose and manage tumors in the pancreas and nearby areas. If you have such a tumor, this study may help improve how these conditions are treated.
This study is looking at healthy adults who have no symptoms or risk factors for pancreatic cancer to test a new imaging method that may help find early signs of the disease. If you join, you will have an endoscopic ultrasound (a thin tube with a camera passed to your stomach) to check your pancreas.
This trial uses a special ultrasound test to collect cells from a pancreatic tumor and study them to better predict if the cancer may come back or spread. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment plan for each person.
This study uses a special ultrasound method called contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to see if it can improve accuracy of diagnosing thyroid cancer. If you have a thyroid nodule and have had certain tests, this trial may help doctors better understand your condition.
