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 how medical images and lab samples can predict which pancreatic cysts or tumors are more likely to be dangerous. If you are being evaluated for a pancreatic problem and haven’t started pancreas treatment, your scans and samples may help researchers improve risk prediction.
This trial collects pancreatic cyst fluid or tissue to study the genes of these tumors. The goal is to better understand pancreatic cysts and improve future treatments.
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.
