Brief Summary

For patients who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has not spread outside of the pancreas and nearby lymph nodes. The purpose of this research study is to understand if we are able to detect pancreatic cancer DNA in the blood stream before, during, and after treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of patients with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels as not detectable in their blood compared to number of patients with ctDNA detected.

    Utilizing Tempus, a commercial laboratory ctDNA genetic profile panel investigators will analyze the number of patients who had detectable ctDNA in their blood prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy who then had no detectable ctDNA after their chemotherapy treatment.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Investigators will look for statistically significant correlations of ctDNA blood levels with clinical treatment responses of tumor grades, CA 19-9 units/milliliter blood level, and radiologic response by RECIST categories of complete response.

    12 months
