Summary

This study is being done to investigate another way of evaluating margin status after pancreatectomy by using cytopathology (slide interpretation) as compared to the traditional method of surgical pathology

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare margin status on final pathology with margin status from cytopathologic evaluation. OUTLINE: Patients undergo cytopathologic sample collection during pancreatic resection during which slides are gently pressed against the cut edge of the pancreas, the surgical bed, and along the superior mesenteric artery, and finally against the tumor itself.

Conditions

• Pancreatic Cancer
• Adenocarcinoma
