A pilot study of safety and efficacy of spectroscopic diagnosis of pancreatic lesions (Spy Panc)
Objetivo
The objective of this study is to determine if a minimally invasive optical probe can accurately predict a histological diagnosis of dysplastic or malignant tumor cells in solid lesions of the pancreas. If effective, this optical probe would facilitate the detection of malignant and pre-malignant pancreatic lesions. This would lead to more accurate decision-making as to which patients require surgical resection versus patients who should be spared from major surgery.

About This Study
Light-based technologies have been shown to be safe and effective for the detection of neoplasia in the colon and esophagus. A team of researchers at USC is currently using light-scattering spectroscopy (LSS) in an IRB-approved prospective study in the lower gastrointestinal tract.
