About this trial
No validated biomarkers to identify PC at an early stage and to predict treatment outcomes in the individual patient exist. The objective of the present study is to find diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age > 18 years
Histologically verified PC (ductal adenocarcinoma) or ampullary adenocarcinoma in a resected specimen; or histopathological confirmation of carcinoma in patients not undergoing surgery in the setting of clinical and radiological characteristics which, together with the pathology, are consistent with a diagnosis of PC independently of stage
Disqualifiers
None
Trial population
Patients with localized, locally advanced or metastatic PC treated in routine care in six hospitals in Denmark as well as operated patients who were suspicious for PC but without evidence of cancer in histology.
