OBJECTIVES:
* Compare the gene expression profiles of pancreatic cancer cells from the primary and metastatic sites in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
* Characterize the function of the differentially upregulated and downregulated genes identified by comparing the gene expression profiles of primary and metastatic cells in these patients.
OUTLINE: Fresh biopsy samples are collected for gene expression profiling and other biomarker/laboratory analyses.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10 patients will be accrued for this study.
