About
The purpose of this study is for researchers to find ways of detecting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma/PDAC early to avoid the invasive procedure of surgery. The study researchers think a combination of imaging and a series of blood tests may be an effective way to detect PDAC early. In this study, researchers will look at whether a combination of the following types of imaging with blood tests can detect PDAC in pancreatic cysts:

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Pathologic evidence of pancreatic cancer
Pregnant or breast-feeding patients
Refusal or inability to tolerate scan (eg anxiety or claustrophobia)
Inability to lay flat or meet the standard requirements of traditional MRI
Hepatic function from assays obtained within 6 weeks prior to the study enrollment. For each patient, the upper limit of normal (ULN) value for a particular assay will be defined by the normal reference values of the laboratory that performed the assay
Renal function with Creatinine > 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min, from assays obtained within 6 weeks prior to study enrollment
Cardiac: congestive heart failure with New York Heart Association (NYHA) status ≥2, poorly controlled hypertension, a history of clinically significant EKG abnormalities, or myocardial infarction within 6 months of study enrollment.
