A Study to Establish a Platform for Managing Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Using Patient-derived Tumoroids

Overview

About this study

The purposes of this study are to determine the optimal patient-derived tumoroid (PDT) model, to determine the feasibility of establishing patient-derived tumoroids (PDT) as a platform for a personalized approach for response prediction and guide optimal neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant approach, to determine drug sensitivity, predict the response to chemotherapy agents and radiation therapy, and validate this response in treated patients, and to establish PDT as a platform for a personalized approach to guide multimodality treatment.
