Clinical Trials Patricia Tang is currently running
Perioperative Chemotherapy
for Pancreatic Cancer
This phase III trial compares perioperative chemotherapy (given before and after surgery) versus adjuvant chemotherapy (given after surgery) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery (removable/resectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before and after surgery (perioperatively) may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to giving chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvantly).

Chemotherapy Tailored by ctDNA Status
for Colon Cancer
This trial tests if a blood test for cancer DNA can help decide if colon cancer patients need more treatment after surgery. The test looks for cancer DNA in the blood to predict if the cancer might come back and to guide further treatment.
