Read our Pancreatic Cancer research guide →Researchers are investigating whether specific bacteria in your gut and mouth can help doctors diagnose pancreatic cancer more accurately. This study will collect samples from people who have a suspicious growth or cyst in their pancreas to see if microbial patterns can improve how doctors identify and treat this disease.
Currently, diagnosing pancreatic cancer early is challenging, and doctors need better tools to identify who is at highest risk and who will respond best to treatment. This research aims to discover whether studying your body's natural bacteria could provide a new, non-invasive way to improve diagnosis and personalize treatment plans.

You would complete a health questionnaire and provide samples — swabs from your mouth and a stool sample — which takes minimal time. If your doctor determines it is medically necessary as part of your care, you may also have one or two small tissue samples taken from your pancreas during a diagnostic or treatment procedure you're already scheduled for. The study is observational, meaning researchers will track your samples and health information over time to identify patterns in how bacteria relate to pancreatic cancer.
