To achieve its mission of improving detection and treatment
of pancreatic cancer, the Pancreas Center maintains a
rigorous research program. Patients seeking treatment at
the center may be eligible to participate in one or more
trials, including the first trial of a non-invasive method of
screening for pancreatic cancer. By participating in trials,
patients can gain access to screening and therapeutic
modalities before they are available elsewhere, and their
participation helps to advance research efforts in pancreatic
cancer.

New trials in 2011 include:
Molecular Genetics and Epidemiology Study, to determine the frequency of gene mutations in patients with, or at a
high risk for developing, pancreatic cancer;
high risk for developing, pancreatic cancer;
Depression and Tumor Burden in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Study, to assess the relationship between tumor size
and mood in pancreatic cancer;
and mood in pancreatic cancer;
Stool DNA Testing: A Feasibility Study, to evaluate the efficacy of detecting
pancreatic abnormalities in the stool; and
pancreatic abnormalities in the stool; and
Registry and Tissue Bank for High Risk Individuals Study, to create a registry
of individuals with, or at high risk of developing, pancreatic cancer.
