New ultrasound methods for diagnosing pancreatic tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests two new ultrasound techniques to better tell apart pancreatic cancer from other solid growths in the pancreas. If you have a solid pancreas mass, the results could help doctors choose the most appropriate treatment without unnecessary surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older

- You understand and speak French well enough to give permission and talk to the team
- You are covered by French Social Security or similar health coverage
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not have certain genetic conditions (like MEN1)

This trial tests a new imaging technique called SMI (Superb Vascular Imaging) to better understand pancreatic cysts that are not yet diagnosed. It may help doctors decide if a cyst is harmless or needs treatment, avoiding unnecessary procedures.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique to better see the material inside pancreatic cysts, which may help doctors decide if the cyst is benign or needs treatment.
This trial is testing a new way to biopsy (take a small tissue sample from) a solid mass in the pancreas to find out if it's cancer. It compares two approaches to make the diagnosis more accurate and faster.
This trial is testing a new navigation system to help doctors see the pancreas during an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) exam. The system may make it easier to spot lesions or other problems in the pancreas.
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.
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.
