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
Eligibility Criteria

You may qualify if:
- Biopsy or cytology proven adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
- No clinical evidence of metastatic disease on imaging
- Age 18 or older
- Receiving chemotherapy for non-metastatic pancreatic cancer
You may not qualify if:
- Biopsy proven metastatic disease
