Interventions

PANcreatic cancer Exosome Early detectiON (PANXEON)

This test will utilize quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to quantify the expression levels of 5 cell-free and 8 exosome-miRNAs in plasma samples obtained from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and from individuals without it

Primary outcome measure

  • Sensitivity [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
