Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We are going to establish "organoid" models from pancreatic cancer biopsies achieved via EUS-FNA. Then the sensitivity of the selected FDA-approved anti-cancer drugs will be tested in these organoids.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The survival rate of pancreatic cancer, a kind of malignant tumor, remains poor due to lack of effective treatments. Recently, a new model called "organoid" has been generated from human and murine pancreatic cancer tissues. These organoids are developed from large pieces of surgical tissues or small biopsies taken from EUS-FNA guided samples. Here in our study we are going to establish "organoid" models from pancreatic cancer biopsies achieved via EUS-FNA. After successful generation of these organoids, we will treat them with the selected FDA-approved anti-cancer drugs, and assess the responses to these anti-cancer agents in our established organoids.
