Read our Pancreatic Neoplasms research guide →Researchers want to better understand pancreatic cancer by studying tumor tissue at the single-cell level — looking at individual cancer cells and the immune cells around them. This study will compare tissue from patients who had chemotherapy before surgery with tissue from patients who had surgery alone, to see how the medication affects the tumor environment and may help predict treatment success.
Chemotherapy before surgery is common for certain pancreatic cancers, but doctors don't yet fully understand how well it works for different patients or why some people respond better than others. This research aims to discover what happens inside tumors when exposed to this treatment, which could eventually help doctors predict who will benefit most and improve how they care for pancreatic cancer patients.
If you qualify, you will undergo surgery to remove your pancreatic cancer as planned — either directly, or after receiving chemotherapy first, depending on your cancer type. During or after your surgery, researchers will collect a small sample of your tumor tissue. That tissue sample will then be analyzed using advanced technology to study individual cancer cells and immune cells. There are no additional visits or treatments beyond your standard surgical care.
