Optimizing Pancreatic Cancer Management Using Next Generation Imaging and Liquid Biopsy

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship of ctDNA status and FDG PET/MRI findings with other clinicopathologic variables and standard staging examinations. We will develop a multivariable model combining ctDNA and FDG PET/MRI biomarkers to predict treatment response and survival. In addition, we will define the quantitative thresholds for early chemotherapy switch in patients who do not respond to first-line chemotherapy.
