Intervention(s)
|
Potential subjects with pancreatic cancer may be identified at pre-admission or outpatient clinic by a clinician or VCB research coordinator, and if consent is obtained tissue, blood and/or urine sample will be collected. All patients will be treated as per standard of care. The only procedure beyond standard of care is the collection of tissue, blood and/or urine samples.
Blood and/or urine samples will be collected at the time of other standard-care assessments (such as CEA) to minimise/eliminate the need for additional venipunctures.
Blood (upto 60 ml) and urine (upto 60 ml) will be collected for research purposes on the following occasions:
1. Before and after surgical removal of pancreatic cancer (if applicable) 2. Before and after any chemotherapy regimen (if applicable) 3. Every 6 months while you are on active surveillance (if applicable)
Archival tissue specimens will be requested for each patient after enrolment. Where possible, current biopsy specimens (fresh tissue) will be collected by either Victorian Cancer Biobank or local pathology laboratories at the time of standard of care procedures,
Follow up will occur until the end of active surveillance, death or 5 years post enrolment, whichever occurs first.

Primary Outcome(s)
|

Next generation sequencing, used to determine mutations present in pancreatic cancer[Enrolled patients will undergo collection of clinical data and archival or fresh tumour specimens as part of routine clinical management, with all patients will be treated as per standard of care.
When applicable, archival tissue samples from the primary pancreatic cancer, matched normal pancreas tissue and/or resected metastases will be obtained, upon enrolment. to study. Where possible, current biopsy specimens (fresh tissue) will be collected by either Victorian Cancer Biobank or local pathology laboratories at the time of standard of care procedures.
Patients that consent to the “liquid biopsy” (blood and urine collection) sub-study will undergo collection of blood/plasma and urine at the beginning and during each systemic therapy. Blood (upto 60 ml) and urine (upto 60 ml) will be collected for research purposes on the following occasions:
1. Before and after surgical removal of pancreatic cancer (if applicable) 2. Before and after any chemotherapy regimen (if applicable) 3. Every 6 months while you are on active surveillance (if applicable)
Follow up will occur until the end of active surveillance, death or 5 years post enrolment, whichever occurs first.]
