Brief Summary

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

This is a prospective pilot protocol investigating whether ctDNA detection be improved by sampling the cancer draining vein versus the standard practice of sampling from a peripheral vein in patients who are undergoing biopsies for hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers.

Detailed Description

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

This is a, prospective single center pilot study to investigate whether ctDNA detection can be improved by sampling the cancer draining vein vs. a peripheral vein (current practice). As a secondary endpoint, both ctDNA results will be compared with percutaneous biopsy (standard of care).
