Project Survival-Prospective Biomarker Discovery

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Pancreatic Neoplasms, Pancreatic Cancer, Pancreatitis, Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

In brief

This sample-collection study is open to participants in several categories: healthy volunteers (with or without a family history of pancreatic cancer) and individuals diagnosed with pancreatitis or any stage of pancreatic cancer. All participants will submit urine, saliva and blood samples; pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer patients will also submit tissue samples if biopsy/ies or surgery is part of the care being provided by their doctor. In partnership with Berg Health, LLC, biomarkers will be investigated for potential use in early detection of pancreatic cancer, to determine prognosis of patients, and to find the most appropriate treatments for patients.
