The Endoscopic Ultrasound guided pancreatic biopsy tissue collected for only research purposes will be used to generate organoids in a in-vivo and in-vitro setting.
The development of these methods may help scientists identify new treatments for pancreatic cancer and to potentially develop more personalized approaches to treating pancreatic cancer.
