Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of circulating tumor cells

    The number of circulating tumor cells isolated via both methods (microsieve device and cell surface marker-based platform)

    Immediately following procedure

Study Arms (1)

Isolation of circulating tumor cells

EXPERIMENTAL

Both portal venous and peripheral blood will be obtained from the patient and subjected to analysis for pancreatic cancer circulating tumor cells

Device: Microsieve deviceDevice: Cell surface marker-based platform

Interventions

Both portal venous and peripheral blood will be processed through a label-free size-based silicon microsieve microfiltration device, which will isolate both epithelial-type and mesenchymal-type pancreatic cancer circulating tumor cells. Downstream mutational analyses will be performed to confirm identity of the cells.

Isolation of circulating tumor cells

Both portal venous and peripheral blood will be processed through a cell surface marker-based platform, which contains antibodies for epithelial cell markers on pancreatic cancer circulating tumor cells. Downstream mutational analyses will be performed to confirm identity of the cells.

Eligibility Criteria

Age21 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 21 years and older

  • Presence of coagulopathy as evidenced by INR \>1.5 and platelets \<50,000
  • Poor patient tolerance to procedure
  • Concurrent intake of anticoagulants and thienopyridine (e.g.Clopidogrel) in patients who require antiplatelet therapy
  • Pregnancy
  • Presence of portal vein thrombus
  • Patients with liver cirrhosis and /or other structural abnormalities in the liver or the stomach
