This research is looking at blood clots, called venous thromboembolism (VTE), in people with pancreatic cancer who have surgery to remove the cancer. People with cancer can have a higher risk of blood clots, and this study wants to learn more about why that happens. The study will also look at blood tests before and after surgery to see if they can predict who might get a clot.
The study is open to adults with pancreatic cancer who are having surgery at University Hospital of Larissa. You cannot join if you’ve had a blood clot in the last 6 months, have certain bleeding problems, or have another cancer.
- Length of Study: Up to 30 days after surgery.
- Visits Needed: Visits will be around your surgery schedule.
- Key Points: No previous clots in the last 6 months, no other cancers, must be having surgery.
