Medical Conditions

Variability in the treatment and outcomes of patients with potentially resectable pancreatic cancer


This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.


This is an observational study of a patient cohort that has pancreatic cancer. The study aims to assess the variation in practice and treatment across the UK. This includes defining current practice and understanding variability in the treatment and outcomes of patients with potentially resectable pancreatic cancer; establishing a collaborative network across the United Kingdom’s specialist surgery providers of pancreatic surgery; establishing a stable cohort for the prospective evaluation of pancreatic cancer patients for future research via the Trials Within a Cohort methodology (TwiC); expediting the identification and recruitment of patients for clinical trials; facilitating the cost-effective running of future observational and interventional clinical trials; and, supporting existing research infrastructure by supporting tissue collection for national biobanks.

Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.  

The recruitment start and end dates are as follows:

25 Oct 2024 25 Oct 2027

Data will be collected from patient records. There are optional quality-of-life questionnaires and blood samples for participation in a biomarkers study looking into cancer recurrence.


Patients aged over 18 years old newly diagnosed with suspected or proven pancreatic cancer and are on a potentially resectable cancer pathway

You can take part if:



You may not be able to take part if:


Patients undergoing resection for chronic pancreatitis and for tumours arising outside the pancreas


Below are the locations for where you can take part in the trial. Please note that not all sites may be open.

  • University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust
    Queen Elizabeth Hospital Mindelsohn Way Edgbaston
    Birmingham
    B15 2GW

As this is an observational study the risks are very low. There also may be no direct benefit to the patient themselves but it could help inform improvements in practice and treatment of future patients with pancreatic cancer.


The study is sponsored by University of Birmingham and funded by Investigator initiated and funded.
