About this study

Official title: Prognostic Importance of Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Evaluation of Pancreatic Steatosis in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer

Prognostic Importance of Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Evaluation of Pancreatic Steatosis in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer

Read the detailed description
  1. Finding patients with pancreatic cancer (in all stages), before any treatment.
  2. Non invasively quantify fatty infiltration of pancreas using, MRI DIXON Scan in pancreatic cancer patient relatively to liver.
  3. Measuring cell-free blood DNA in those patients for evaluating the aggressiveness of the disease.
  4. Quantify the prognostic significance of pancreatic steatosis in comparison with clinical and pathological prognostic indexes used today.
Keywords
Cancer of pancreas, steatosis, MRI
Medical subject headings
Pancreatic Neoplasms, Fatty Liver

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of fat in pancreas measured in the head, body and tail excluding the lesion area.

    measuring Pancreatic Steatosis in patients with pancreatic cancer using MRI DIXON scan, at 24 hours before chemotherapy starting.

    Measured: at 24 hours before chemotherapy starting

  2. Blood levels of free DNA

    Correlation of free DNA level and metastatic spread.

    Measured: The blood sample taken 15 minutes prior to MRI study, at time of IV access.
