Read our Pancreatic Cancer research guide →This research study is exploring how pancreatic surgery affects the bacteria and microbes living in your gut. Researchers will collect stool samples from people who had pancreatic surgery (called a Whipple procedure) at least 6 months ago and compare them to healthy people who have never had this surgery. By understanding these differences, doctors hope to better support patients' digestive health and quality of life after pancreatic cancer surgery.
Pancreatic surgery can significantly change how your digestive system works, but doctors don't yet fully understand how it affects the helpful bacteria in your gut or what that means for your long-term health. This study aims to fill that knowledge gap so doctors can better help patients manage digestive symptoms and improve their recovery.
If you join this study, you'll be asked to keep a simple diary for three days recording what you eat, your bowel habits, and any medications you take. You'll also complete a few questionnaires about digestive symptoms and quality of life. Most importantly, you'll provide a small stool sample using an easy at-home swab kit that you mail to the laboratory. The whole process takes minimal time and can be done from your home.
