About this trial

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tissue and blood from patients with cancer to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.

PURPOSE: This research study is collecting and storing tumor, tissue, and blood samples from patients with pancreatic cancer.

Trial population

The goal of this protocol is to provide cancer investigators access to a wide variety of tissues and biospecimens for translational studies in cancer by collecting and preserving tissue from the primary organ site, from the metastases, from patient blood (serum and lymphocytes), from patient urine, and from related samples of other tissues/fluids removed by the surgeon left over after diagnostic testing. No additional tissue will be taken at the time of surgery other than that required for patient care, but additional blood and urine samples will be obtained at that time. This protocol is not limited to certain types of cancer.
