6D-MRI Predictive Imaging for Pancreatic Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to assess if Six-Dimensional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (6D-MRI) is effective in predicting outcomes in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is 6D-MRI safe for humans?
How does the 6D-MRI Predictive Imaging treatment for pancreatic cancer differ from other treatments?
The 6D-MRI Predictive Imaging treatment is unique because it uses advanced MRI techniques to potentially predict and assess pancreatic cancer, which may offer more detailed imaging compared to standard methods. This approach could help in better understanding the extent and aggressiveness of the cancer, similar to how advanced MRI techniques are used in prostate cancer detection.678910
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment 6D-MRI for pancreatic cancer?
Research shows that MRI, particularly at higher strengths like 3T, can improve the detection and evaluation of pancreatic cancer by providing clearer images, which helps in assessing the extent of the disease and planning treatment. This suggests that advanced MRI techniques, like 6D-MRI, could potentially enhance the accuracy of pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment planning.111121314

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for pancreatic cancer patients who can have at least two MRI sessions and are about to start chemotherapy. They must be able to sync a device with Fitbit or use someone else's. It's not for those with severe claustrophobia, previous PDAC treatments, metastatic cancer seen on initial scans, or certain metal implants.Inclusion Criteria
