Detailed Description
The study objectives are described below:
-
Obtain serum and plasma specimens longitudinally collected from approximately 140 subjects diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and are about to or are currently undergoing treatment and follow-up. Specimens will be used to evaluate CA 19-9 assays, currently under development, as an aid for monitoring recurrence or progressive disease.
-
To store any remaining specimens for use in future cancer research and to evaluate as yet undetermined biomarkers for the development of IVDs, including additional CA 19-9 assays, for monitoring the course of disease and therapy in subjects diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
