Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study to evaluate the utility of the Invitae Personalized Cancer MonitoringTM assay for patients with resectable and unresectable pancreatic cancer. Using tumor tissue, a personalized blood test (the Invitae Personalized Cancer MonitoringTM test) will be developed that can be used for repeated monitoring to assess for the presence or absence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). The presence of residual cancer cells after treatment is known as molecular residual disease (MRD) and the detection of ctDNA can provide evidence of the presence of MRD. Participants in this study will have their blood drawn at various time points throughout their cancer treatment to test for ctDNA and monitoring with the Invitae Personalized Cancer MonitoringTM test will continue until disease progression or the duration of the study.
