New ultrasound methods for diagnosing pancreatic tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism 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)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial uses a special ultrasound technique (Superb Microvascular Imaging) to better understand the material inside a type of pancreatic cyst called a PIMPT. It may help doctors decide if the cyst is dangerous without needing more invasive tests.
This trial tests a new approach that combines a special biopsy needle with immediate on-site checking to better diagnose solid pancreas masses. It may help get a clearer diagnosis in one procedure.
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 tests whether new MRI techniques can better show how pancreatic cancer responds to treatment. It compares standard CT scans with advanced MRI sequences for patients whose cancer has not spread.
