Blood and fluid study for people having pancreatic cyst surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study collects blood and cystic fluid samples from people who are already scheduled for surgery to remove a worrisome pancreatic cyst. The goal is to learn more about these cysts and possibly improve future diagnosis and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have a pancreatic cyst that your doctor has found on an imaging test
- The cyst is considered worrisome and surgery to remove it is planned
- You can give written permission (informed consent) to join

This study looks at the genetic material (genomics) of pancreatic cysts to better understand them and possibly improve diagnosis or treatment. By studying fluid or tissue from your cyst, researchers hope to find markers that can help guide care.
This study collects and stores samples (bio-specimens) from adults who have pancreas cysts and are at higher risk for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to help researchers improve early detection so future patients may be diagnosed sooner.
This registry study collects information from adults who have a pancreatic cyst (a fluid-filled sac in the pancreas). It may help doctors understand these cysts and how they change over time, which can improve future care.
This study looks at blood tests to find markers that may help detect and monitor pancreatic cancer. It compares people with pancreatic cancer to those with benign pancreatic conditions and healthy volunteers.
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or measurable lab signals, in blood and (when available) cyst fluid to understand pancreatic cyst problems and related conditions. It may help doctors better predict what these conditions are and how to manage them.
This study tests a new lab test called PanCystPro that looks at fluid taken from a pancreatic cyst during an endoscopic ultrasound. It aims to help doctors better manage your condition.
