Identify the Clinical Significance and Potential Implications of PWC in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer


The purpose of this study has three specific aims: (1) to determine the relationship between
peritoneal washing cytology (PWC) results and clinicopathologic parameters of pancreatic
cancers, (2) to identify the predictive value of PWC and postoperative drainage cytology on
the peritoneal recurrence or outcomes, (3) to dissect the molecular mechanism of peritoneal
recurrence, especially on the PWC-inducing peritoneal seeding process.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients with pancreatic cancers, other non-ductal pancreatic cancers , and benign
pancreatic tumors (as negative control population) operated in Surgical Department
after IRB proof and receiving patients' informed consent.
