Study Summary

This clinical trial investigates the nutrients pancreatic cancers depend on in which to survive and the processes these tumors use (metabolism) to obtain these nutrients. Giving U-13C-glucose during surgery may allow doctors to trace the metabolic activity of pancreatic cancer in research experiments done in the laboratory. These experiments may help researchers understand how cancer cells manage their nutrients when compared to normal pancreatic cells.

Primary Outcome

To describe and discover new insights into the glucose metabolic dependencies of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The measure is to analyze in vivo U13C-glucose labeled pancreatic cancer biopsies. The blood collection will to allow for in depth evaluation of glycolysis metabolism
