Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Pancreatic Cancer Initial Detection Via Liquid Biopsy

Study Description

Brief Summary: The overall rationale of PANCAID is to provide a diagnostic blood test for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. With a set of different liquid biopsy methods, it is the aim to measure these markers in well-defined patient cohorts. For the entire series of these studies, the following groups are planned: 1) Histologically proven early-stage pancreatic cancer (e.g. T1a/b and T2 carcinomas \[N0M0\]); 2) Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN) that were operated with verification of the benign, premalignant or malignant histology; 3) ordinary branched-duct IPMN; 4) individuals at risk (IAR) with and without IPMN, with and without known hereditary cancer gene (e.g. BRCA2); 5) a high risk group of patients with chronic pancreatitis, aged 55-65, who are heavy smokers (≥40 PY), with newly onset diabetes mellitus (NODM).
