Implementing Non-invasive Circulating Tumor DNA and Circular DNA Analysis in Patients With Localized Pancreatic Cancer to Optimize the Pre- and Postoperative Treatment: Predicting Recurrence and Survival and Changing Prognosis Over Time
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if plasma ctDNA and eccDNA before resection for suspicion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can predict early recurrence and overall survival, and to investigate if plasma ctDNA combined with CT scan and endoscopic ultrasound surveillance increases the median overall survival compared with standard-of-care surveillance.
• Sub-study 1: Suspicion of PDAC tumor stage I-III, scheduled for pancreatic resection, with or without preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
• Sub-study 2: .
‣ PDAC tumor stage I-III
⁃ Has received intended curative resection (R0/R1) of PDAC
⁃ No signs of local recurrence or metastatic disease at a CT scan 4 months after the operation
