Researchers are collecting detailed medical information from people who are having or have had surgery for tumors or cysts in the pancreas or bile duct area. The goal is to understand which patient and tumor characteristics predict better or worse outcomes, and to learn how to improve surgical care and recovery for future patients.
Pancreas and bile duct cancers are serious conditions, and doctors want to better understand what helps some patients recover well while others face complications. By studying a large group of patients and their outcomes, researchers hope to identify early warning signs and improve how these conditions are treated and managed.

If you join this study, researchers will review your medical records—both before and after your surgery—to collect information about your tumor, your surgery, and your recovery. Some participants enrolled after November 2021 will be followed over time to track their long-term outcomes. There are no additional visits or procedures required beyond your standard cancer care; participation mainly involves allowing the research team to access and study your existing medical information.
